Advice and Representation for Employees, Workplace, and Civil Rights Issues
In New York, employees have certain protections under the law. People who have been discriminated against or harassed because of their sex, race, religion, age, or disability or who have been terminated in violation of law, have the right to file claims against their employers and seek monetary damages. If you have been mistreated at work, you need legal advice as soon as possible to learn how to protect your interests.
