Workplace conflict is hard.
The next step doesn’t have to be.
If you’re dealing with conflict in the workplace, including harassment, retaliation, discrimination, wage issues, hostile work environment or wrongful termination, we provide compassionate legal support so you can get clear, build a solid record, and decide what to do next—through a grounded, values-centered process.
NOTE: This practice is focused on employees. I do not offer litigation representation.
We support employees who:
want to understand their legal rights and options
feel stuck at a decision point and don’t know what to do next
want to be heard without escalating the conflict
need help organizing the facts (timeline, evidence, narrative)
want guidance grounded in their values, integrity, and long-term life goals
You may be trying to stay at work and improve the situation, to negotiate an exit, or to move on and rebuild.
We choose the path that fits your reality.
How it works
Built from 10+ years of employee advocacy, plus mediation and coaching training—this process helps you move through workplace conflict with clarity, integrity, and a steady plan.
-
A one-hour meeting to meet each other, discuss basic facts, and provide an initial overview of options. You’ll leave with:
clarity about your rights as an employee
answers to your legal questions
a clearer view of your options
a recommended next step
a sense of whether working together is the right fit
-
This is a structured, values-based process designed to create clarity, build a strong record, and allow you space to choose the best next step for you.
Phase 1: Values + Outcomes
2 meetings to clarify your values and define your desired outcomes.
Phase 2: Record Build (Investigation)
2–3 meetings to create a clean, organized record. This includes your own narrative, a timeline, and inventory of key people or documents. We will review of strengths and weaknesses of potential claims.
Phase 3: Next Steps + Advocacy Decision
We discuss and choose the path forward through your values-based lens.
You’ll choose one of two tracks:
Track A — Employer Communication
If communication with your employer is the right next step, we’ll work together over 1-2 meetings to produce values-aligned written correspondence.Track B — No Action Initiated
If you do not chose Track A, you receive three additional 60-minute coaching sessions focused on moving forward.
—Between-session support is included throughout, but is limited intentionally so the work stays contained and sustainable. —
-
This step depends on your situation.
We may serve as your representative if both you and your employer choose to engage in discussions.
We may continue working with you in a coaching relationship (no legal advice) to work on rebuilding and moving forward after workplace conflict. Common topics include:
job transition support (clarity, confidence, momentum)
boundaries and communication skills
reducing rumination and regaining stability
conflict patterns so the same dynamic doesn’t repeat
— We will not litigate or file agency claims on your behalf. —
Dave Albrechta, esq.
I’m an employment lawyer, coach, and trained facilitative mediator. My approach is grounded, values-centered, and focused on understanding. I help employees move through workplace conflict in a way that protects their integrity and their life—without letting the legal process consume them.
Kind words from former clients
“I wish to share that I love Dave and Eleni’s “wayness” of being attorneys. They both expressed genuine kindness and thoughtfulness as human beings in the process. More than I can express here, I appreciate both of them greatly, and I am blessed to have experienced this exercise in the human condition being represented by the two of them. It gives me hope for mankind that even those in powerful positions on this earth can be compassionate and caring for those who are in need of assistance and guidance as I was.”

“Lawyers with a heart!! My experience working with the Albrechta’s was fantastic! They are prompt, knowledgable, and they could easily explain things to me in away I understood. I felt like they had my best interests at heart! Overall, I would recommend them to any of my friends and family!”
— Christina F.
“David was exceptionally helpful and professional during all our interactions. He was able to clearly explain legal concepts related to my case, and help me to navigate the decisions related to my case and the legal process in general. Beyond his professionalism and knowledge, David was compassionate and understanding - qualities that I did not expect to find when engaging with an attorney. Should I ever require legal services in the future, I will absolutely work with David and his team again.”
— Michael V.
“The obligation of our profession is, or has long been thought to be, to serve as healers of human conflicts.”
