Joseph focuses his practice on labor law and is committed to advocating for workers’ dignity and respect in the workplace. He utilizes his legal expertise to fight for safe working conditions, fair pay, and equitable treatment for all workers.

While a law student at Temple University Beasley School of Law, Joseph worked with a variety of organizations whose goal it is to achieve better and safer working conditions for employees.  As a legal intern at the Office of the Solicitor at the United States Department of Labor, he made recommendations for agency action in claims filed under the Occupational Safety and Health Act and drafted memoranda on nationwide injunctions and jury verdict form requirements in Fair Labor Standards Act claims. He also served as an intern at the Social Justice Lawyering Clinic, where he assisted workers with wage theft claims against their employers. While interning with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, he worked on federal workplace disputes in which the EEOC was pursuing legal action on behalf of employees who had been discriminated against.

Joseph is committed to helping labor unions and the hard-working people they represent receive the protections and benefits they deserve. As an experienced advocate for workers, he is equipped with the insights needed to provide sound legal strategy that secures the best possible outcome for clients.

WHAT INSPIRES ME ABOUT MY WORK

My mother was a union schoolteacher, so the importance of a strong and enforced contract is not an abstract idea to me. I always knew that I wanted to practice labor law to ensure that other children of union families could enjoy the same benefits.

AWAY FROM WORK

When not working, I enjoy playing the guitar and visiting the goats at Awbury Arboretum with my daughter.
