HOW DO I KNOW THAT YOU ARE THE RIGHT LAW FIRM FOR ME?
Our firm has represented dozens of clients in the employment and consumer-protection cases. Many of our cases resolve quickly with clients satisfied with the resolution. If an opponents are unreasonable, however, we litigate our cases to the end to hold companies liable to the full extent.
CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
Generally yes, especially when it concerns minimum wage and overtime violations. However, whether you are entitled to protection depends on your specific situation.
This really depends on your situation. While some terminations may be perfectly legitimate, many other terminations may violate the law. Acting quickly, while you still employed, may save your job, or at least prepare the ground for a future legal action. In any event, try to collect all documents such as policies, evaluations, write-ups, pay stubs, etc. while you are still employed.
This is not a simple question. You are in the best position to know what your employer/boss may do if you speak up. In general, you should know that if your employer terminates you for formally complaining about employment-related violation, the employer may be liable for retaliation, as well as for the underlying violation.
Generally, no, unless you have a disability and your working from home is a reasonable accommodation. But even if you do not have a disability, your employer can accommodate your request.
These papers are designed to protect the employer. In this situation, you may have an age discrimination claim, although not necessarily. If you sign the papers, you waive your discrimination claim.
This really depends on what you wrote.
A: Technically, this is a violation of the law. Moreover, if your employer retaliates against you for bringing a legal action, or even complaining, that would be illegal. However, if your situation is acceptable, we discourage our clients from unnecessary litigation.
Yes, in New York City and some other places, employers are prohibited to discriminate against you because you are unemployed. The employers may consider the reasons why you are unemployed.
