Three vantage points. One practice.

Rob Milesnick

Rob is a former Assistant U.S. Attorney and a Washington and Oregon employment law litigator with a focus on whistleblower, civil rights and complex litigation alleging gender-based discrimination, sexual harassment, retaliation and hostile work environment claims.

In addition to his litigation experience helping employees and workers, Rob has been a certified mediator for the past 23 years, and in addition to his work as an AUSA, he served a collateral duty appointment to solve EEO disputes as mediator with the Executive Office of U.S. Attorneys. He is a court approved mediator for the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon and the Western District of Washington, serves on the Board of Directors of the Oregon Mediation Association and served as an elected member of the Board of Governors for the Oregon State Bar from 2020–2024.

Rob received his Bachelor of Arts, cum laude in English and Psychology from Virginia Commonwealth University in 1999 and his Juris Doctor from Syracuse University College of Law in 2002, where he was a member of the Moot Court Honor Society. He draws on two decades of experience in complex mediations, and from advanced trainings from the Syracuse University College of Law Mediation Assistance Program, negotiation and mediation training from the USDOJ National Advocacy Center, and from the Harvard Law School Program on Negotiation in conflict management and negotiations.

That range of experience is not incidental to this practice — it is the heart of this practice.

Understanding how employers build and defend discrimination cases makes him a better advocate for the people challenging them. Understanding how DOJ evaluates False Claims Act cases makes him a better advisor to the whistleblowers bringing them. Understanding how cases might resolve makes him a more honest counselor about when to fight and when to compromise.

Rob is proud to have spent the majority of his career helping employees and whistleblowers secure millions of dollars in damages for the unlawful conduct they've endured, and he looks forward to helping you too. Please feel free to reach out at any time. Thank you.
