Mr. Pettit limits his practice to civil litigation, labor and employment law. He has been in practice since 1974, representing both individuals and businesses in a wide variety of lawsuits.

A significant portion of his time is spent advising the firm’s business clients on day-to-day employment issues with an end to avoiding or minimizing conflicts with the many and varied employment and labor laws that exist today.
