Phillips & Associates is a workplace discrimination law firm serving the New York City and Tri-State area. Over the past seven years, our attorneys have obtained over $85,000,000 in settlements and verdicts for victims of discrimination. We expect to surpass $100,000,000 in 2018. Most of our verdicts and settlements are single plaintiff employment related cases; not class action civil rights cases or personal injury cases. Many other employment lawyers have never handled a case over $200,000 let alone $1 million. We have multiple attorneys with experience handling high value cases. Very few plaintiff’s firms can match our depth of knowledge and experience in employment law.
At Phillips & Associates, we understand that being the victim of discrimination or sexual harassment in the workplace is a very difficult experience. Workplace discrimination or sexual harassment can undermine your job performance and personal life, as well as damage your sense of well-being and dignity. Our firm is dedicated to helping our clients achieve the justice they deserve and restore a sense of control over their lives. If you are being treated unfairly based on a protected trait or experiencing sexual harassment, there are legal recourses available to you. However, the statute of limitations to bring job-related claims is brief, so it is in your best interests to consult an attorney as soon as possible.
