Fighting for Workers’ Rights

Every employee deserves to work in an environment free from discrimination, harassment, and retaliation. When employers violate those rights, Justice Law Firm is here to hold them accountable.

Our employment law attorneys represent workers across all industries — from hourly employees to senior executives — who have been mistreated, wrongfully fired, or denied the compensation they earned.

Workplace Discrimination

It is illegal under federal and New York law to make employment decisions based on:

  • Race, color, or national origin
  • Sex, gender identity, or sexual orientation
  • Religion or creed
  • Age (40 and older)
  • Disability or perceived disability
  • Pregnancy or family status
  • Immigration status (NYC)
  • Hair texture and natural hairstyles (CROWN Act, NY)

If your employer treated you differently because of who you are, you may have a powerful claim.

Wrongful Termination & Retaliation

New York is an at-will state — but that doesn’t mean employers can fire workers for illegal reasons. We pursue claims for:

  • Termination based on a protected characteristic
  • Retaliation for reporting discrimination or harassment
  • Retaliation for filing a workers’ compensation claim
  • Retaliation for taking FMLA leave
  • Whistleblower retaliation under NY Labor Law § 740

Sexual Harassment & Hostile Work Environment

We represent victims of workplace sexual harassment — including quid pro quo demands and severe or pervasive conduct that creates a hostile work environment — against both individual harassers and employer organizations.

Wage & Hour Claims

New York has some of the strongest wage protection laws in the country. We pursue claims for:

  • Unpaid overtime (time-and-a-half over 40 hours/week)
  • Minimum wage violations
  • Tip theft or misappropriation
  • Illegal paycheck deductions
  • Misclassification as independent contractor

Severance Negotiation

If you’ve been offered a severance package, don’t sign before consulting an attorney. Severance agreements almost always include broad releases of all legal claims. We review packages, advise on your rights, and negotiate better terms.
