Sexual Orientation Discrimination

Skilled Employment Discrimination Attorneys

When it comes to civil rights for gay and lesbian individuals, New York and New Jersey have made significant strides. New Jersey laws provide for civil unions; New York has agreed to recognize same-sex marriages from California. Moreover, both New York and New Jersey have state laws preventing sexual orientation discrimination in an employment context. This does not mean that employers never discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation.

Effectively Protecting the Rights of GLBT Employees

Our founding partners have more than 50 years of combined experience litigating cases protecting the rights of employees who have suffered discrimination, harassment, or wrongful termination. We understand the importance of protecting and enforcing the rights of gay and lesbian employees.

We work to ensure that employers in New York and New Jersey face the consequences for failing to comply with the anti-discrimination laws and that you receive full compensation for the effects of this discrimination.

We represent clients who have faced wrongful termination as the result of their sexual orientation, or who have been unable to continue working because harassment or discrimination made it impossible to tolerate the workplace. In either case, the loss of employment is likely to have significant financial consequences for the employee, in addition to the traumatic psychological consequences of this loss. We will work to ensure that you are fairly compensated for this difficult time.
