Fighting LGBTQ Discrimination in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut

Dedicated Employment Law Attorney in New York City

Though the New York legislature banned discrimination in the workplace based on sexual orientation in 2002, there are still many employers across the five boroughs who treat employees or potential workers differently because they are gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender. If you have been denied a job, a raise or promotion or experienced any other adverse consequence in the workplace because of your sexual orientation or gender identity, the Law Office of Justin A. Zeller can help.
