Employment Counseling
Caleb works closely with employers to address day-to-day workplace challenges, offering practical solutions on issues such as employee misconduct, terminations, severance agreements, restrictive covenant agreements, investigations, wage and hour compliance, disability accommodations, FMLA adherence, policy review, unemployment appeals, and more. He also provides guidance on the implications of legal updates and new employment laws.

Employment Litigation

He defends claims against companies brought under Title VII, ADA,ADEA, FMLA, FLSA, 42 U.S.C. § 1981, PHRA, PMWA, PFEOA, APSA, OAPSA, Pennsylvania common law, civil torts like assault and battery, and more. He also represents companies in trade secret and restrictive covenant litigation, helping employers protect their business interests and confidential information. 

Through his years of employment litigation experience, Caleb has successfully received motions to dismiss, motions for summary judgment, final judgments from the Middle and Eastern District Court of Pennsylvania, final judgments from the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court, and more. 

Government Investigations
Caleb represents employers in audits and investigations brought by governmental agencies. He has successfully defended companies in actions brought by the EEOC, PHRC, HUD, USDA, Pennsylvania DOL, U.S. DOL, Pennsylvania DHS, PLRB and OSHA.

Other Litigation

Outside of work, Caleb enjoys an active lifestyle, participating in various recreational sports with his wife in Mount Joy.
