Disability Discrimination
If you have been harassed, discriminated against, or discharged by your employer because of a disability, hiring an attorney can help you achieve your goals. Whether you are seeking your job back, a money settlement, or a different arrangement that works for you, we will use our skill and experience to fight for you.
At the Newark and Manhattan law offices of Josephine Gottesman, we can help you file disability discrimination complaints with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (the EEOC). It is important to have representation before the EEOC because if the complaint and its rebuttal are not drafted appropriately, your Federal Court action will be subject to dismissal. If we exhaust the EEOC procedures, we can pursue your case in Federal court. We can also work with your employer to get relief for you under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA).
We help clients understand their legal rights. We urge you to act quickly and speak with a lawyer, even if you are not actively considering a lawsuit. Acting quickly gives you the opportunity to learn about your rights. When you know your rights, you can take action to prevent further discrimination or to make a strong case in court, if necessary.
Contact the law office of Josephine Gottesman as early as possible. We can counsel you on how to document your disability discrimination matter. In our office, we provide a great deal of information about disability discrimination claims. We help you learn which things to look for if you are experiencing harassment so that you may be able to prepare a claim at a later time.
