How We Help Employees in New York

Wrongful Termination

Were you fired illegally? Federal law prohibits termination based on discrimination, retaliation, or whistleblowing. Employment lawyers can evaluate your dismissal and help identify possible lost wages, benefits, and damages.

Workplace Discrimination

Title VII, the ADA, and the ADEA protect employees from discrimination based on race, gender, age, disability, religion, and national origin. If your employer treated you unfairly, you may have a claim.

Sexual Harassment

No one should endure unwanted conduct at work. Whether you faced quid pro quo demands or a hostile work environment, employment-law review can help you understand your options.

Unpaid Wages & Overtime

The FLSA requires employers to pay minimum wage and overtime. If your employer withheld pay, misclassified your role, or denied overtime, you may be owed back wages plus penalties.

Retaliation & Whistleblowing

Federal law protects employees who report illegal activity, safety violations, or discrimination. If you were punished for reporting misconduct, an employment-law review can help you assess next steps.

EEOC Claims

Filing a charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is often the first step in an employment discrimination case. Our team guides you through the process from intake to resolution.
