Discrimination and Harassment Claims
Discrimination and Harassment Claims
Employment discrimination in its various forms, including hostile work environment harassment, has been part of the employment landscape for decades. Yet those problems persist in the modern workplace and claims are filed. Suits often arise when an employee feels they were treated unfairly or attribute disciplinary actions or negative performance appraisals to a discriminatory motive or bias. Employees also sometimes feel targeted for negative treatment in the workplace because of their personal characteristics.

"I recommend him highly."
" I have worked with Steve for about ten years on employee litigation and personnel practices matters. I recommend him highly. On the litigation front we have been involved with cases in which the matters have been withdrawn, settled, and gone through trial and judgement.

"I can't say enough good things about him."
“I have worked with Steve since 2002 and I can't say enough good things about him . He represented me in a trade secret case filed in Superior Court against a company traded on the New York Stock Exchange. At the time I did not think there was much hope but Steve successfully opposed every motion the opposing attorney filed in the case. He had the opposing attorney on his heels the whole time and was able to achieve a very favorable outcome.”
