New Jersey and Pennsylvania Employment Law Lawyers
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), Equal Pay Act (EPA), Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) are just some of the laws in place designed to protect employees from different types of adverse employment actions in the workplace. In New Jersey there is additional protection provided under the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (LAD).
Unfortunately, these laws are frequently broken and employees find themselves in hostile or otherwise demeaning work environments. If you have experienced discrimination, sexual harassment or another type of employment law matter, it is important to protect your rights by seeking the assistance of a knowledgeable employment law attorney.
At the law offices of McDowell | Riga | Posternock, PC,A Professional Corporation, Attorneys at Law, our attorneys are aggressive advocates for the rights of employees. We represent our clients, ensuring they are treated fairly and are able to exercise their rights. We have experience handling these types of employment law cases:
Discrimination
Employers are prohibited from discriminating against any employee or group of employees on the basis of race, creed, ethnicity, national origin, religion, age, sex, pregnancy, sexual orientation, mental disability or physical disability. Discriminatory actions can include demotion, denial of promotion, denial of hiring and mistreatment by bosses or co-workers.
Sexual Harassment
Any type of sexual harassment in the workplace is illegal and should not be tolerated. Though sexual harassment is often thought of as a man harassing a woman, these situations are frequently reversed, leaving a man the victim. We work with clients to assess an ongoing case of sexual harassment and take the necessary legal steps to stop the harassment and remedy the situation.

The sooner you speak to us, the better able we are to advise of any action you need to take if you have a viable case. We have helped clients with cases involving:
