New Jersey Employment Discrimination Lawyers
Federal, state and local laws protect workers and job applicants from discrimination based on age, race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, religion, pregnancy and national origin. Harassment of employees through the creation of a “hostile work environment” is also prohibited. Requesting sexual favors in return for a promotion is obviously illegal, but more subtle offensives like the telling of off-color jokes can also be a violation of law, allowing an employee or group of employees exposed to such language to recover money damages and counsel fees.

Filing a Discrimination Claim
Victims of discrimination or harassment may file a claim to proceed in the administrative system or the court system. Each system has benefits and shortcomings. Also, each system has different time limits, which are strictly enforced. Our firm will explain the discrimination lawsuit process and help you decide the best legal option for your situation.
Some of the most common forms of discrimination our clients experience include:
Age Discrimination
As baby-boomers age and thousands of young people enter the work force each year, employers are faced with the difficult task of providing opportunities for the younger generations to move up, while still keeping older workers on staff. Too often men and women over 50 are forced to leave the company or sit on the sidelines while their promotions go to someone younger.
Bring your complaint to Graziano & Flynn and you can rest assured your discrimination claim will be handled by an experienced and highly-respected employment law attorney.
Sex Discrimination
Federal and New Jersey laws protect both women and men from enduring sexual harassment in the workplace. Inappropriate comments or advances should be dealt with harshly. Furthermore, you should never be prevented from seeking opportunities for advancement or not given pay increases just because of your gender. As a certified trial attorney, Ronald A. Graziano, has the skill to represent your interests effectively in trial.
Workplace discrimination and harassment is illegal, whether it comes from a co-worker, your boss or the company as a whole. If you believe you are a victim of sexual harassment or another form of discrimination, the law firm of Graziano & Flynn can provide the aggressive representation you need to protect your rights.
