Employment discrimination attorneys for New Jersey & New York workplaces
If you were treated differently, denied a reasonable accommodation, or punished for speaking up, the law may protect you — and important evidence is often already in writing.
Strong protections, strict deadlines
Federal law — Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, and the Americans with Disabilities Act — prohibits workplace discrimination based on race, sex, religion, national origin, age, and disability. State law often goes further: the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination provides broad civil-rights protections — covering categories such as pregnancy, sexual orientation, and gender identity or expression — and New York's State and City Human Rights Laws are similarly expansive. These claims carry strict filing deadlines that can be measured in months, so early advice matters.
What we handle
- Disability discrimination and failure to accommodate
- Retaliation for complaints, reports, or other protected activity
- Hostile work environment
- Discrimination based on age, race, sex, religion, pregnancy, national origin, sexual orientation, or gender identity
- Discipline and termination tied to protected characteristics
How we build these cases
Discrimination cases are won on the record. We reconstruct the timeline — performance reviews, emails, HR complaints, policy documents, and the sequence between protected activity and adverse action — and connect it to the legal standards before the first demand is made. That preparation shapes settlement leverage and, when necessary, litigation.
What a consultation looks like
You tell us what happened, what documents exist, and what outcome you want. We ask focused questions, identify the deadlines that apply, and give you a candid assessment — including whether you have a case worth pursuing. Everything you share is treated with discretion, and the consultation is free.
If your employment ended, wrongful termination claims often travel with discrimination claims; we evaluate both together.
