Discrimination Lawyers in Manhattan

Who you are and where you come from should never have an impact on your personal or professional life in the eyes of others. It’s also unacceptable for any employer to discriminate against you based on your national origin, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. Here at Cohen & Fitch LLP, our expert attorneys are very familiar with filing Equal Employment Opportunity (EEOC) complaints as well. In many instances, this may actually be a pre-requisite to you filing any type of discrimination lawsuit. Cohen & Fitch always handle each discrimination case with the type of sensitivity it deserves, and we’ll help you get the compensation you’re entitled to.

If an employee has to leave early on certain days for religious observance, in general, an employer has to permit that employee to leave early and an employer may not retaliate against that employee for requesting or taking this accommodation. Further, national identity is often tied to religious customs and traditions that also must be respected in the workplace at all times. Our firm understands the fine points necessary to bring a successful religious and national origin discrimination claim.
