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.
Employment discrimination occurs when workers face adverse treatment based on protected characteristics, including:
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.
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 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 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.
Whatever your specific legal needs may be, we can provide the high-quality representation and personal attention that you deserve. With an in-depth understanding of how the law works and the ability to develop creative strategies, our New York employment lawyer can resolve many cases. If the courtroom cannot be avoided, we have the skills and experience to assertively advocate on your behalf.
If you believe that your rights have been violated, do not delay in taking action. The sooner you act, the sooner we can begin building a strong case on your behalf.
