Have You Been Subjected to Sexual Harassment?
Thanks to the “me too” movement, laws have been changed to make it easier to prove sexual harassment. Judges and juries are more likely to believe you. They are also more likely to award compensatory and punitive damages. For more than 30 years, our lawyers have been helping people protect themselves from sexual harassment and hostile work environments. We have helped clients resolve difficult situations at work, negotiate settlements and severance packages, and win millions of dollars in compensatory and punitive damages.

Unpaid Wages & Overtime
|
Are You Owed Compensation by Your Employer?
State and federal laws guarantee your right to be paid for all of the hours you work. Unfortunately, employers often attempt to violate these laws as a cost-cutting measure. If your employer is withholding your wages, not paying for all the hours you worked, or failing to pay the legally required overtime, taking legal action can protect your right to fair payment. Our lawyers represent doctors, nurses, physical therapists and other healthcare professionals and employees to get them paid the compensation they have earned. Call us at (212) 601-2728 to learn how we can help you. |
Employment Discrimination
|
Were You Fired Because of Discrimination?
Discrimination is illegal. New York and federal laws prohibit discrimination on the basis of characteristics that do not affect your work performance. If you have been fired because of discrimination, you may be entitled to compensatory and punitive damages, reinstatement to your job, and other remedies. Our lawyers can help you if you've been fired because of your age, sex, pregnancy, race, religion, or another illegal reason. Call us at (212) 601-2728 to learn how we can help you. |
Family & Medical Leave Rights
|
Have You Been Denied Family or Medical Leave?
The Family & Medical Leave Act (FMLA) was passed to give employees a way to take job-protected leave to attend to their own health issues or caretaking obligations for family members. New York has its own family and medical leave laws that provide for paid leave. If you have been denied a family or medical leave, or if you have been fired or retaliated against for requesting such a leave, you may be entitled to compensation, reinstatement to your job, and other remedies. Call us at (212) 601-2728 to learn how we can help you. |
