Discrimination
Bringing a Discrimination Complaint/Filing a Lawsuit
In New Jersey, a lawsuit for discrimination, harassment, or retaliation can be brought in the Superior Court under the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination.
Before a lawsuit can be filed based on federal anti-discrimination laws for any of the above types of discrimination, you must file a charge of discrimination with the EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission). If you consult a private attorney at this time we can help you pull together the facts so you have a strong case for the EEOC investigators.
The EEOC will investigate your case and take one of two actions: 1) either they will accept the case on your behalf and will take it to court at no cost to you, or 2) they will issue a “right to sue” letter. If the EEOC does not take your case, that does not mean you don’t have a good case. You can then seek a private attorney, such as Zatuchni & Associates, to take your case to federal court.
If you are bringing a discrimination lawsuit based on state or city anti-discrimination laws, you can also ask the New Jersey Division of Civil Rights and the New York Human Rights Commission to investigate and intercede. Before you make a decision to file your complaint at the state level or federal level, however, talk to a New York or New Jersey anti- discrimination attorney. Get a clear understanding of what you want to achieve with your complaint and who can get you the outcome you want.
Whistleblower Lawsuit
Our employment law attorneys help employees with first-hand knowledge of employer wrongdoing—fraud against the government, environmental violations, OSHA violations—to safely and effectively bring whistleblower cases. The stakes are high for employee whistleblowers, but it’s often the right thing to do. We’ll protect your interests and help you bring wrongdoing to light. Contact our office to speak to a whistleblower attorney in New York or New Jersey.
