Whether you are an employee being sexually harassed, discriminated against or wrongfully deprived of overtime pay and seeking recovery, you will likely find the experience confusing, tedious and emotionally stressful.

I recognize that individuals need sound guidance in this often frustrating area of law. As an experienced Brooklyn Employment Lawyer, I have represented many employees in age discrimination lawsuits, retaliation cases, sexual harassment matters and others. I have brought these claims in state and federal courts throughout the New York metropolitan area.

I strive to provide superb legal guidance in all aspects of state and federal employment law issues, including:

• Employment Discrimination, grounded in sex, pregnancy, sexual orientation, age, race, religion, national origin, disability and FMLA cases
• Retaliation
• Gender Discrimination
• Sexual Harassment
• Wrongful Termination
• Unpaid Wages
• Employment Laws
• Employee Rights
• Overtime Compensation 
• Defamation
• Severance Agreements
• Trade Secret Agreements
• Non-Competition Agreements
• Whistleblower Claims
• Administrative Law
• Injunctions

I am a seasoned advocate who fights hard for my clients. As a skilled Brooklyn Employment Lawyer, I deal with a diverse group of people, fighting against prejudice and discrimination wherever and whenever I can. I am well known in the legal community for my expertise, honesty and integrity. I am often appointed by the Kings County courts as a referee, a court evaluator, a guardian and a court-appointed attorney.

My Firm caters to individual employees who have been discriminated against. I provide individual attention to my clients, and guide each through the legal system smoothly. I have authored several articles that have been published in the legal community, such as:  "The Family Medical Leave Act," "The Americans with Disability Act Update," and "Employment Discrimination Law." I have chaired several legal education courses targeted to the legal community.

In 2004, I ran in the Brooklyn Democratic primary for Civil Court Judge. Although I was not elected that year, I was approved by the Brooklyn Bar Association, the Association of the Bar of the City of New York, LAMBDA, and The New York Times. As the New York Times said, “Voters would not go wrong by choosing . . . Mrs. Elisofon.”  I am the current President of the Brooklyn Women’s Bar Association (2007-08), a Director/Trustee of the Brooklyn Bar Association, a Director of the St. John’s University Law School Alumni Association – Brooklyn Chapter, a Chair of the Employment and Labor Law Committees of the Brooklyn Bar Association and the Women’s Bar Association of the State of New York, and a member of NELA (National Employment Lawyer’s Association), and the Jewish Lawyer’s Guild.

I have settled many cases, including claims against the Mayor’s Office, New York City Police Department, Transit Authority, hospitals, banks, and private companies. I am undaunted by either government agencies or prominent employers, and will champion the employee against all odds. I will frankly advise clients about the strengths and weaknesses of their claims. I am proud of my excellent success rate.
