Skilled Tarrytown, NY, and Mahwah, NJ, Race Discrimination Attorneys

Employment discrimination laws aim to prevent discrimination based on:

• Race and national origin
• Age and disability
• Religion
• Gender and sexual orientation

Equal treatment of employees is governed by federal law and enforced by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). In New York, these rights are also enforced by the State Division of Human Rights; and in New Jersey, the Office of the Attorney General handles all discrimination complaints. Depending on the circumstances of your claim, you may also be protected by other statutes. With more than 20 years of legal experience, we understand the specific laws that may apply in your situation.

Providing Representation for All Discrimination Claims

Discrimination may have occurred if you have suffered based on your inclusion in one of the above protected classes. Examples of prohibited, discriminatory conduct include bias in:

• Hiring practices
• Promotion and compensation
• Job assignment
• Termination

Employment discrimination may have also occurred if the employee experiences retaliation, including harassment and termination, for complaining about misconduct or exposing a company's wrongdoing (also known as whistleblowing).
