EMPLOYMENT LAW

Workplace Disputes We Handle

Workers in New York and New Jersey have strong legal protections but enforcing them takes an attorney who knows how to build a case under both state and federal law. Stillman Legal PC has represented employees across industries, from healthcare and finance to education and hospitality, in matters ranging from day-one discrimination to executive-level severance disputes

Getting Fired or Pushed Out

Wrongful Termination

Fired for an illegal reason? Wrongful termination gives you the right to fight back and seek justice.

Workplace Retaliation

Punished for complaining about discrimination, harassment, or illegal conduct? That's retaliation, and it's illegal.

EEOC, Division of Human Rights, Class & Collective Actions, Litigation & Trial

Fighting Back Formally

Division of Human Rights

We guide you through filing discrimination complaints with the New York State Division of Human Rights and the EEOC, when applicable, and represent you throughout the administrative process to protect your workplace rights.

Class & Collective Actions

When employers steal wages from multiple workers, we bring class and collective actions to recover on behalf of everyone.

EEOC

We guide you through filing EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) charges and represent you throughout the federal discrimination complaint process.

Your job does not erase your rights!

When wages are withheld, overtime goes unpaid, or you are fired after speaking up, the imbalance of power becomes real. Employees in New York and New Jersey are protected by federal and state labor laws, yet many employers still violate those rights.

If you are dealing with wage theft, workplace discrimination, harassment, retaliation, or wrongful termination, you may have a legal claim. Waiting can weaken your position. Speaking with an employment lawyer early allows you to understand your rights, deadlines, and potential remedies under New York and New Jersey law.

Understanding whether your situation crosses a legal line is the first step toward protecting your income, your reputation, and your future.

You work hard. You deserve to be treated fairly.
