Common Questions

Answers You Need Right Now

How do I find an employment lawyer near me on Long Island?
Look for an attorney with specific experience in federal and New York State employment law, a proven record of results against employers, and a contingency-fee structure so you pay nothing upfront. The Law Office of Jason Tenenbaum is based in Huntington Station and serves all of Long Island and NYC.
What qualifies as workplace discrimination under New York law?
New York law prohibits discrimination based on race, color, national origin, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, disability, religion, pregnancy, marital status, and military status. The New York State Human Rights Law and NYC Human Rights Law provide broader protections than federal law. If you were treated differently because of a protected characteristic, you may have a claim.
How much does an employment lawyer cost?
Most employment lawyers, including our firm, work on a contingency-fee basis for employee-side claims. That means you pay zero upfront and owe no legal fees unless we recover compensation for you. The initial consultation is always free.
How long do I have to file an employment discrimination claim in New York?
Deadlines vary by agency and claim type. EEOC complaints must generally be filed within 300 days. New York State Division of Human Rights claims have a 3-year window. NYC Human Rights Law claims also allow 3 years. Wrongful termination and retaliation deadlines depend on the specific legal theory. Contact us immediately to preserve your rights.
Can I sue my employer for wrongful termination in New York?
Yes, if you were fired for an illegal reason — such as discrimination, retaliation for reporting harassment, whistleblowing, filing a workers' compensation claim, or exercising rights under FMLA. New York is an at-will state, but at-will does not mean an employer can fire you for unlawful reasons.
What should I do if I am being harassed at work?
Document every incident in writing with dates, times, witnesses, and details. Report the behavior through your company's internal complaint process. Save all related emails, texts, and communications. Then consult an employment attorney. Do not resign before speaking with a lawyer — quitting may affect your legal options.
What is the difference between the EEOC and the NYS Division of Human Rights?
The EEOC enforces federal anti-discrimination laws (Title VII, ADA, ADEA). The NYS Division of Human Rights enforces the New York State Human Rights Law, which covers smaller employers and more protected categories. You can file with either agency, and they have a work-sharing agreement. Our firm advises on the best filing strategy for your situation.
What compensation can I recover in an employment lawsuit?
Depending on your claim, you may recover back pay, front pay, lost benefits, emotional distress damages, punitive damages, and attorney fees. In discrimination and retaliation cases, New York courts regularly award substantial emotional distress damages. Our firm fights to maximize every component of your recovery.
