At the City of Monroe Legal Department, I serve on every City employee disciplinary hearing panel and recommend consistent, defensible corrective action. I review work histories and evidence, then draft hearing notices and determination letters that connect conduct to specific rules.
I advise HR and leadership on FMLA leave and the ADA accommodation process, and assist with contested terminations, back-pay calculations, Civil Service Board matters, and transit labor matters. I also defend the City in Louisiana state court.
As Management Officer at Bastrop Loan Company / Bastrop Insurance Company, I directed operations, finance, and legal affairs, including employee matters for 30 staff across multiple offices. I returned the company from $6 million in debt to profitability without significant staff reductions, then led an orderly wind-down with ample notice and generous severance.
