Overview
Before becoming a lawyer, Hank was on the international staff of the United Auto Workers union serving as the union's principal negotiator in several industries including machine tool, bearings and ship building. As both a UAW official and attorney he has negotiated hundreds of national and local collective bargaining agreements in the private and public sector, and has represented unions in arbitration, administrative proceedings including the National Labor Relations Board, and in state and federal courts.
A nationally recognized authority on union democracy, internal union election procedures and compliance issues, Hank was special assistant to the first court-appointed election officer in the Teamsters union and since that time has organized, conducted, and supervised hundreds of local, regional, national and international elections for dozens of international unions. He also served as a court appointed special master overseeing international union delegate elections, nominating conventions and rank-and-file voting.
A former skilled tradesman and merchant seaman, Hank shipped out at sixteen as an apprentice seaman and worked for the next eight years, during and after college, as a journeyman sailor and member of both the Seafarers International Union and the Sailors Union of the Pacific. Hank is always interested in employment cases involving the maritime industry.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level
- - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials
- - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost
- - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City
- - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
