Lawrence P. Schaefer has earned the respect of judges and other lawyers for his thorough and aggressive client advocacy in negotiation and litigation. He focuses exclusively on representing people who have been subject to employment discrimination at work. Larry serves as the firm’s President and head of litigation.

Over the course of his long and often ground-breaking career, Larry has taken on some of the largest and most powerful companies in the country, helping tens of thousands of people recover damages suffered as a result of illegal corporate conduct.  Larry has a strong focus delivering services to physicians and mental health professionals, and has represented hundreds of  medical professionals.
