New York Wrongful Termination Attorneys

Long Island Retaliatory Discharge Lawyers

In New York, it is a violation to terminate an employee for discriminatory reasons or because that employee exercised his or her rights, including filing for Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) benefits or workers’ compensation, reporting an illegal activity, or bringing a qui tam action.

If you have been wrongfully terminated, you may be entitled to compensation. An experienced employment law attorney can analyze your situation and explain your options to you, as well as guide you through the legal process and protect your rights and legal interests.

Leeds, Morelli & Brown, PC, has extensive experience with wrongful termination issues and retaliatory discharge claims. Such disputes consist of employment claims involving wrongful termination, including being terminated in retaliation for exercising a right, such as filing for FMLA benefits or workers’ compensation. Our efforts have resulted in millions of dollars in monetary and nonmonetary compensation for employees throughout Long Island and New York.

Some Common Examples of New York Wrongful Termination or Retaliatory Discharge Claims

  • Discharging an employee for reporting sexual harassment
  • Firing an employee for reporting any type of discrimination, including age discrimination, race discrimination, sex discrimination, disability or handicap discrimination, and other discriminations against protected classes
