Employment Litigation

Representing Clients in Employment Disputes

Because I was a successful business owner for 18 years, I understand that, unfortunately, potentially costly employment disputes can arise. As an attorney, I represent clients in a wide range of employment disputes.

Contact my Short Hills, New Jersey office to discuss any type of employment dispute. Call (973) 921-0600.

My representation includes matters such as:

  • Employment discrimination – claims, lawsuits, and proceedings involving discriminatory treatment in hiring, firing, demotion, non-promotion, job assignments, pay cuts, or workplace harassment by co-workers or supervisors based on protected classifications (e.g., race, age, sex/gender, national origin, religion, disability, pregnancy, etc.),
  • Medical and family leave - claims, lawsuits, and proceedings involving denial or improper administration of federal and New Jersey rights to medical and family leave,
  • Sexual harassment and other forms of prohibited harassment - claims, lawsuits, and proceedings involving hostile, abusive, or otherwise illegal harassment, demands, or workplace conditions,
  • Wrongful termination/discharge - claims, lawsuits, and proceedings involving termination/discharge in violation of public policy,
  • Retaliatory discharge or treatment - claims, lawsuits, and proceedings involving retaliation for exercising legal rights (e.g., whistleblowing, worker’s compensation, jury duty, etc.),
  • Employment torts - claims, lawsuits, and proceedings involving defamation (i.e., libel/slander), negligent hiring and supervision, infliction of emotional distress, and employee raiding,
  • Job/employment references - claims, lawsuits, and proceedings involving false, negligent, or improper responses to inquiries from prospective employers, and
  • Contracts, agreements, covenants, and promises - claims, lawsuits, and proceedings involving breach of contract, violation of restrictive covenants, and enforcement of promises.

Call me today at (973) 921-0600 to arrange a consultation or contact me online I respond promptly to all inquiries. Evening and weekend appointments, as well as appointments at your office or facility, may be arranged.
