Workplace Discrimination
Legal claims for unequal treatment based on protected characteristics such as race, religion, gender, age, disability, national origin, sexual orientation, or pregnancy. These cases may involve discriminatory hiring practices, unequal pay, denied promotions, or termination. Clients may seek compensation and policy changes to prevent future misconduct.
Wrongful Termination
Representation for employees fired in retaliation for reporting misconduct, requesting accommodations, or exercising rights under state and federal law. Wrongful termination claims also include firings that violate public policy or anti-discrimination statutes.
Sexual Harassment
Claims involving unwelcome conduct, threats, or coercive behavior of a sexual nature. The firm pursues accountability when employers ignore complaints, allow hostile work conditions, or retaliate against workers who report harassment.
Wage and Hour Violations
Recovery for unpaid overtime, missed breaks, minimum wage violations, tip skimming, and employee misclassification. These cases seek back pay, penalties, and other damages owed under wage laws.
Employment Contracts
Review, negotiation, and enforcement of employment agreements, severance packages, and restrictive covenants. Litigation may be required when employers breach terms that affect compensation or career opportunities.
Family Leave Rights
Legal action for employees denied protected leave under the FMLA or NJFLA or punished for taking time off for personal medical needs or to care for family members.
Whistleblower Protection
Representation under New Jersey’s Conscientious Employee Protection Act (CEPA) for workers who report illegal, hazardous, or fraudulent conduct and face retaliation. Remedies can include reinstatement, lost wages, and compensatory damages.
The firm evaluates qualifying employee cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning legal fees are owed only if financial recovery is obtained.
