His experience includes partnering with clients to develop comprehensive strategies to achieve compliance with employee leave and accommodation statutes and regulations.

A significant portion of Trevor’s practice involves representing employers before federal and state courts and administrative agencies, with an emphasis on class and collective wage and hour matters involving minimum wage and overtime allegations, with a particular focus on tipped employees, and individual claims and investigations under Title VII, the ADA, the FMLA, and state equivalents.
