Persistent lawyers fight unfair employment practices in New York and New Jersey and throughout the United States
As an employee, you have the right to equal consideration for employment and treatment by employers. If your rights have been denied, the attorneys at Braverman, PLLC will take action. On behalf of workers in the New York City area, we hold employers accountable when they discriminate in their hiring, promotion, and compensation practices. No employee should be singled out or passed over based on unlawful personal characteristics or their decision to report employer wrongdoing. We help our clients seek compensation for the pain and difficulties they have experienced due to their employers’ discriminatory actions.
Informed counselors strive to enforce equal employment opportunity laws
If you believe you were barred from employment, passed up for promotion or otherwise treated unequally in your workplace due to your physical condition, identity, or stance against inappropriate behavior, you may be able to bring a valid discrimination claim. Federal, state and local laws may prevent employment discrimination based on, among other things:
- Retaliation
- Disability
- Race
- Sex
- Immigration/Citizenship status
- Sexual orientation
- Age
- National origin
- Color
- Religion
- Pregnancy
- Genetic information
- Sexual harassment
- Equal pay/compensation
- Marital Status
- Victims of domestic violence
Additional protections for employees may be also offered at the state and local levels. Because laws are always shifting in regard to this area, it is best to contact a knowledgeable employment attorney to advise you on how current federal, state and local laws apply to your case.
At Braverman, PLLC, we carefully examine the details of your situation and advise you on whether or not your discrimination claim is likely to hold up in the eyes of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the national agency that exists to enforce anti-discrimination laws, or before similar state and local government agencies, or in subsequent civil litigation.
