THE DERUBERTIS LAW FIRM

KIMBERLY HIGGINS

Beyond The Art of Advocacy

As a former HR manager, Kimberly Higgins understands employment law from both sides. In 2010, she joined The deRubertis Law Firm, a leader in plaintiff-side employment law. “Having practical HR experience is a definite benefit,” she says. “It gives my clients an advantage.” Higgins is passionate about employment law, especially disability discrimination, because as she explains, “At any moment, anyone can be blindsided by a ‘disability,’ and we all deserve someone to fight for us when we’re most vulnerable.” It is that compassion and dedication that helps her achieve success.
