Employment Law
Experience, dedication, investigation
We mostly represent single plaintiffs or groups forced to confront all too common unlawful employment practices. Our knowledge of federal and state laws supports our exceptional talent for fact-finding on behalf or clients.
Wrongful discharge/adverse employment action
The State of New Jersey is an “at will” employment State. Employers may hire or fire you for any reason. Worse, you can be fired for no reason at all. But you can seek legal remedies for being fired for reasons that do not make sense. We can help you best because of our unique combination of attitude, education, and legal skills. And you can get your job back or receive monetary compensation.
Even though we live in an “at will” state, you do have rights. You can stand for them against your “at will” employer. And we are eager to stand with you to claim your rights and satisfaction in court.
You can pursue a court claim for these:

Discrimination
Because discrimination is a particularly difficult charge to prove, we know that success in employment discrimination depends largely on investigation that includes four essential steps:
- Find and preserve all evidence that shows discriminatory patterns and motives
- Identify and enlist favorable witnesses
- Identify and enlist other employees who may have suffered similar discrimination
- Retain experts to assist with any investigation and testify on your behalf
Once we have completed these prerequisites, we can prove your claim in court and satisfy your thirst for justice with the full force of our firm’s capabilities.
Sexual harassment
State and federal laws governing harassment claims are complex. They require varying elements of proof. Engage us to prosecute your sexual harassment claim. We gather facts to support your claim. We employ America’s foremost experts to assist us with your claim. We also work with experts in human services to establish patterns of harassment in New Jersey workplaces.
Wages and hours
We offer understanding and skill that lead large groups of employees through their efforts to secure honest dollars for honest work in New Jersey. We regularly apply our legal talents to the task of getting employers to comply with federal and state labor laws.
Age, race, gender, disability, and sexual orientation discrimination
We protect and assist all individuals who were subject to discrimination in the workplace. Our Supreme Court has established a formula for analyzing discrimination cases. To establish your case, we apply the same analysis:
- Are you a member of the protected age class?
- Are you qualified to perform your job’s requirements?
- Has an employer taken action against you because of your protected status?
- Have you been replaced by someone else?
Satisfying these conditions shifts the proof burden over to your employer. Your employer then maintains the burden of explaining why they treated you unfairly. We put your employer on trial and seek justice on your behalf.
