Sexual Harassment and Workplace Discrimination Attorneys
Phillips & Associates | Sexual Harassment, Discrimination & Employment Lawyers is a preeminent workplace discrimination law firm serving the New York City and Tri-State area. Over the past seven years, our attorneys have obtained over $85,000,000 in settlements and verdicts for victims of discrimination. We expect to surpass $100,000,000 in 2018. Most of our verdicts and settlements are single-plaintiff employment-related cases; not class action civil rights cases or personal injury cases. Many other employment lawyers have never handled a case over $200,000 let alone $1 million. We have multiple attorneys with experience handling high-value cases. Very few plaintiff’s firms can match our depth of knowledge and experience in employment law.
The attorneys and staff at Phillips & Associates | Sexual Harassment, Discrimination & Employment Lawyers are seasoned legal professionals who are well-versed in employment and discrimination law. Unlike many other employment law firms, who practice in multiple areas of law, handling real estate transactions, bankruptcy, divorce, or personal injury along with employment law as a side business, at Phillips & Associates | Sexual Harassment, Discrimination & Employment Lawyers, our only focus is employment discrimination/sexual harassment and we are very successful at it. Additionally, many firms represent employees on one day but then turn around and represent and advocate for the companies the next day. We only represent employees. We do not need to practice in other areas of law, or represent corporations, to makes ends meet.
Contact us today if you need legal assistance with any of the following:
- Discrimination
- Age
- Criminal Conviction
- Disability
- Medical Condition
- National Origin
- Pregnancy
- Race
- Religion
- Sex or Gender
- Sexual Orientation
