New York Sexual Harassment and Employment Discrimination Lawyers

At Ziegler, Ziegler & Associates LLP we are dedicated to protecting employees in the workplace. We represent clients who are seeking damages for sexual harassment, employment discrimination, civil rights violations and wrongful termination. Our highly skilled attorneys have sought and obtained significant monetary awards on behalf of victims of many forms of employer misconduct, including:

  • Sexual harassment: Sexual harassment is a form of employment discrimination that violates United States federal law and, in many cases, state and local law. Sexual harassment can involve direct requests for sexual favors, unwelcome sexual advances and improper conduct in the workplace. Employers are required to take steps to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace and to take appropriate action to remedy sexual harassment once it is reported or discovered. An employee who reports sexual harassment is legally protected against retaliation from his or her employer. Our attorneys are known worldwide for our experience in representing clients who have been the subject of sexual harassment by or from employers or other employees.
  • Employment discrimination: At Ziegler, Ziegler & Associates LLP, we have successfully guided victims of employment discrimination through proceedings before the United State Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and in state and federal courts. Employee discrimination can be based on age, race, religion, sex, disability or membership in a constitutionally protected class.
  • Wrongful termination: If you were terminated by your employer based upon a discriminatory purpose or in retaliation for reporting a hostile work environment or other unlawful employment practices, you may have a claim for employment discrimination and /or wrongful termination. Once it is determined that such a claim exists, Ziegler, Ziegler & Associates LLP will advise and guide you on the proper course of action for achieving a just resolution of such claim.
