Master Lawyer Kristen SINISI

It takes years of hard work, perseverance, and sacrifice to build a career. When an employer’s discrimination or retaliation threatens your livelihood, you do not have to stand by in silence. I can help level the playing field and vindicate your workplace rights.I exclusively represent employees and dedicate my full attention to protecting and advocating for your rights. I recognize the unique, high-stakes situations that you face, and I provide experienced, empathetic counsel by seeing your case through your eyes. I will listen as you share your story, work with you to identify your objectives, anticipate your needs, and develop a custom strategy best suited to achieve your goals.I prioritize client service and believe that timely, open, and honest communication is the linchpin of the attorney-client relationship. I will make the legal process more accessible and empower you to make informed decisions about your case.I represent employees in a broad array of employment matters before local and federal administrative agencies, and in state and federal courts. I have successfully represented employees in discrimination, retaliation, harassment, wrongful discharge, and breach of contract claims, as well as whistleblower claims brought under the anti-retaliation provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, Dodd-Frank Act, False Claims Act, Whistleblower Protection Act, and National Defense Authorization Act. In addition, I have filed complaints with various Offices of Inspector General and the Office of Special Counsel on behalf of federal government employees and contractors, and I have guided clients through the government’s investigations of their claims.Before I co-founded District Employment Law, I worked as an employment attorney at Bernabei & Kabat, PLLC for over six years. Previously, I also served as a law clerk to the Honorable Dan Pellegrini, then-President Judge of the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court. In addition, I worked as a trial attorney at a Pennsylvania law firm where I helped obtain a seminal ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit about the pleading standard applicable to whistleblower complaints filed under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.I graduated magna cum laude from the Catholic University of America, where I served as the Editor-in-Chief of the Catholic University Law Review.
