Employment Discrimination Attorneys Serving Long Island

Workplace discrimination spreads through countless employer actions — and it is illegal. Employers who target workers based on pregnancy, age, race, gender, religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, or family status violate both federal and New York State law. These discriminatory practices poison work environments, harm individuals, and expose employers to serious legal liability. If you're searching for a discrimination lawyer on Long Island who will fight aggressively for your rights, you've come to the right firm.

Federal and state statutes set clear workplace standards, yet many Long Island employers continue biased behavior both openly and behind the scenes. Our legal team spots discrimination whether it shows up as a blatant wrongful termination or a subtle pattern of mistreatment. We confront hostile work environments, pay inequity, blocked promotions, unlawful harassment, and retaliatory firings head-on. When companies enforce discriminatory policies or let harassment fester, our discrimination lawyers act fast. We fight for workers throughout Nassau County, Suffolk County, and the greater New York metro area.

How We Build Your Case

Winning discrimination cases requires solid proof. We gather incident reports, co-worker testimony, and complete employment records from the moment you hire us. Our team tracks communications, examines company policies, and maps behavior patterns over time. Where appropriate, expert witnesses strengthen claims by demonstrating systemic discrimination within your organization.

Past victories prove our skill fighting workplace bias. We scrutinize employer conduct, gather evidence, and build compelling cases. This step-by-step approach exposes discrimination and maximizes compensation. Legal deadlines make quick action vital. Contacting our office early preserves evidence, allows a thorough investigation, and keeps every legal option open.

What You May Recover

Employment laws provide powerful remedies that go beyond a simple damages award. Depending on your situation, our attorneys pursue:

  • Back pay — wages and benefits lost due to discriminatory treatment
  • Front pay — future earnings lost if reinstatement is not feasible
  • Reinstatement to your former position
  • Compensatory damages for emotional distress and mental anguish
  • Punitive damages where employer conduct was egregious
  • Attorney's fees and litigation costs
  • Mandatory policy changes to protect other employees

Common Questions

Employment Discrimination FAQ

Answers to frequently asked questions from Long Island workers facing workplace injustice.

What qualifies as employment discrimination in New York?
Employment discrimination occurs when an employer treats an employee unfavorably because of a protected characteristic. Under New York law, these include race, color, national origin, sex, pregnancy, age (40+), disability, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, and marital status. Discrimination can take many forms — wrongful termination, denial of promotion, unequal pay, hostile work environment, and retaliation.
How long do I have to file an employment discrimination claim?
Deadlines vary by agency and law. To file with the EEOC, you generally have 180 to 300 days from the discriminatory act. Under the New York State Human Rights Law, you have three years. Under the New York City Human Rights Law, you also have three years. These deadlines are strict — contact our office immediately to preserve your rights.
Can my employer retaliate against me for reporting discrimination?
No. Retaliation against an employee who reports discrimination, files a complaint, or participates in an investigation is illegal under both federal and New York law. If you have been demoted, disciplined, fired, or otherwise punished for standing up against discrimination, you may have a separate and powerful retaliation claim.
What compensation can I recover in an employment discrimination case?
Depending on your case, you may recover back pay (lost wages and benefits), front pay (future lost earnings), reinstatement to your position, compensatory damages for emotional distress, punitive damages in egregious cases, attorney's fees, and mandatory changes to your employer's policies. Our attorneys evaluate every avenue to maximize your recovery.
