Law Firm Representing Victims of Employment Discrimination
If you were discriminated against due to aspects of your identity outside your control, you should consult the law firm of Phillips & Associates. Vanessa and the rest of the teamwork work hard to ensure clients’ needs are appropriately addressed and the most robust possible cases are built on their behalf. Federal, state, and local laws prohibit employment discrimination based on a range of protected characteristics.
Federal anti-discrimination laws include the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. These laws apply to workplaces that have at least 15 employees. Damages are capped based on the size of the employer. In some cases, state or local law may provide more protection to a worker who has faced unjust mistreatment due to a wider range of characteristics.
Some of the characteristics protected under federal, state, and local laws include:
Notably, state and local laws may provide strong protection when workers have a hostile work environment claim due to their more inclusive definitions of what counts as actionable harassment. The New York State Human Rights Law forbids discrimination and harassment based on protected characteristics in every workplace in the city, regardless of size. Our attorneys also pursue damages under the New York City Human Rights Law, which protects many characteristics and applies to employers with at least 4 employees.
