Disability Discrimination

Aggressive Counsel in Disability-Based Discrimination Claims in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut

Proven Employment Lawyers Serving New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut

Pursuant to federal and state laws, an employer in New York may not treat an employee differently based on a recognized disability. The laws also prohibit acts that have a disparate impact on a worker who is disabled, limiting decisions regarding hiring and firing, compensation, promotions and raises, work assignments and benefits. The employer must also make reasonable accommodations to disabled employee, so that they can be gainfully employed. If you or someone you love has a disability and has suffered an adverse consequence at work because of it, we can help.

At the Law Office of Justin A. Zeller, we understand the importance of a good job, as a means of meeting your financial obligations and maintaining your self-esteem. For nearly 20 years, we have aggressively protected the rights of workers in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, including persons who have been wrongfully treated at work or denied opportunity because of a disability.

We take a comprehensive approach when handling workplace discrimination claims, taking the time to learn the details of your case, as well as what you need to move forward with your life. We will keep you involved and informed throughout the legal process, explaining the law and process to you, as well as your options and likelihood of success, so that you can make smart decisions about how you want to proceed. We’ll promptly notify you of any developments in your case, and will work hard to return all calls, text messages and emails in a timely manner.

Our Disability Discrimination Practice

We offer full-service legal counsel to men and women who have been victims of discrimination at work under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) or the New York Human Rights Law. We’ll carefully review the facts and circumstances of your case to establish:

  • That you are covered under state or federal disability discrimination laws
  • That you have a physical or mental condition that qualifies as a disability under the appropriate statute
  • Whether your employer has made a “reasonable accommodation” for your disability, as mandated by law

If we determine that you have a valid claim, we’ll prepare and file the necessary documentation with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to initiate a legal claim for your losses. We will also handle all matters in a civil action in court.
