Representation Tailored to Your Case

If you are being treated unfairly or illegally in the workplace, New York State has many laws that can protect you. When you reach out to the law firm of Mark David Shirian P.C. in New York for your case evaluation, our employment attorneys can attentively listen as you explain your situation and determine the right action moving forward.

Discrimination

Employment discrimination occurs when workers face adverse treatment based on protected characteristics, including:

Race
Age
Gender
Religion
Disability
National origin
Sexual orientation

Federal laws like Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, and New York’s Human Rights Law prohibit such conduct.

Discrimination can manifest through hiring bias, promotion denials, unequal pay, hostile work environments, or differential treatment. Our New York lawyers represent employees who have experienced workplace discrimination, fighting for compensation, reinstatement, and systemic changes to prevent future violations.

Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)

The Family and Medical Leave Act provides eligible employees up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave for serious health conditions, childbirth, adoption, or caring for family members. New York’s Paid Family Leave Act offers additional protections and benefits. Employers often violate FMLA rights by denying leave, retaliating against employees who request time off, or failing to restore positions upon return.
Our practice helps employees enforce their FMLA rights, recover lost wages, obtain reinstatement, and secure damages when employers interfere with or retaliate against workers exercising their legal right to family and medical leave.

Sexual Harassment

Sexual harassment creates hostile work environments through unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature, including inappropriate comments, touching, requests for sexual favors, or quid pro quo situations. Both federal and New York state laws prohibit sexual harassment, with New York’s recent legislative expansions strengthening employee protections and employer obligations. Sexual harassment can occur between any workplace parties, regardless of gender or hierarchy.

Our attorneys represent victims of sexual harassment, pursuing compensation for emotional distress, lost wages, and other damages while working to eliminate harassing behaviors and hold employers accountable for failing to maintain safe workplaces free from sexual misconduct.

Wrongful Termination

Wrongful termination occurs when employees are fired in violation of federal or state laws, employment contracts, or public policy. While New York is an at-will employment state, terminations cannot be based on discrimination, retaliation for whistleblowing, exercising legal rights, or filing complaints. Wrongful discharge may also violate implied contracts or good faith obligations. Common scenarios include firing employees for refusing illegal activities, reporting safety violations, or exercising statutory rights.

Our firm represents wrongfully terminated employees, seeking reinstatement, back pay, front pay, benefits restoration, and punitive damages while challenging employers who violate termination laws and contractual obligations.

He offers great retainer options for him to represent your case. Aside from the Cassie and Diddy case, never in my life have I ever heard of an attorney that can get you a settlement negotiation in less than two weeks after serving the other party.

The best lawyer, he took my case and made sure my daughter got what she deserved. I would choose him all over again and every-time I need a lawyer. He goes a voice and beyond and even came to the hospital to see my daughter and didn’t even know my family at the time. Mark is very sweet, and kind, he will get the Job done.
