Our lawyers

Three lawyers, and every one of them works for the employee

A part-time paralegal keeps each deadline on one calendar, and law students prepare files under a lawyer’s supervision.

  • Lavinia Carraway, smiling, in a light gray blazer, looks down at a tablet beside a curved white wall

    Managing attorney

    Runs the clinic and takes the matters that need to go before a judge.

  • Demetria Gaines, smiling, with long dark hair, sits at a white table with a spiral notebook

    Supervising attorney

    Leads the pay and hours cases and supervises the student program.

  • Marcellus Bolden, smiling, in black-framed glasses and a navy suit, outdoors in front of green leaves

    Marcellus Bolden

    Staff attorney

    Handles firings, discrimination and harassment, and runs the evening sessions.

What the three have in common

None of them has ever sat on the employer’s side of a table here, and none will. That’s a rule of the clinic, not a preference.

Each one will tell you what we think of your matter in plain words, including when the answer is that it isn’t something we can win or take on.
