Dedicated New York Attorneys Handle Workplace Discrimination
Persistent lawyers fight unfair employment practices
As an employee, you have the right to equal consideration for employment and treatment by employers. If your rights have been denied, the attorneys at Murtagh, Cossu, Venditti & Castro-Blanco, LLP will take action. We hold employers accountable when they discriminate in their hiring, promotion and compensation practices. No employee should be singled out or passed over based on personal characteristics or their decision to report employer wrongdoing. We help our clients throughout New York seek compensation for the pain and difficulties they have experienced due to their employers’ discriminatory actions.
If you believe you were barred from employment, passed up for promotion or otherwise treated unequally in your workplace due to your physical condition, identity or stance against inappropriate behavior, you may be able to bring a valid discrimination claim. Federal laws prevent employment discrimination based on:
- Retaliation
- Disability
- Race
- Sex
- Age
- National origin
- Color
- Religion
- Pregnancy
- Genetic information
- Sexual harassment
- Equal pay/compensation
Additional protections for employees may be offered at the state level. Because laws are always shifting in regard to this area, it is best to contact a knowledgeable employment attorney to advise you on how current federal and New York laws apply to your case.
At Murtagh, Cossu, Venditti & Castro-Blanco, LLP, we carefully examine the details of your situation and advise you on whether or not your discrimination claim is likely to hold up in the eyes of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the national agency that exists to enforce anti-discrimination laws, or in subsequent civil litigation.
Discrimination can take a serious toll on the people it affects, from limiting career and financial opportunities to causing substantial psychological stress. We listen to the needs of our clients so we can seek the forms of remedy and compensation that are fitting for their experience. We represent individuals who have suffered discrimination in the form of:
- Unequal pay
- Unequal benefits
- Harassment
- Job loss
- Missed promotion opportunities
- Unfair hiring
Our attorneys are strong advocates for New York workers. We will try to resolve your case out of court, so that you can seek a favorable settlement without the necessity of a trial. If a courtroom appearance becomes necessary, we will represent you with persistence and conviction.
