Employment Law Attorneys Serving Workers Throughout New York And New Jersey

Last updated on May 22, 2025

As an employee, you may encounter challenges in your workplace environment that impact your job performance and overall well-being. State, federal and local employment laws establish powerful protections for employees. They shield workers from discrimination, sexual harassment and harassment. They establish wage and hour requirements and other safeguards for employee rights. If you feel that your rights have been violated, you can turn to us at Sutton Sachs Meyer PLLC.

Our employment lawyers are devoted to protecting and empowering employees facing issues such as discrimination, retaliation and hostile work environments. Our mission is to help workers receive fair treatment and justice. We are here to advocate for your rights and provide the legal support you need to thrive professionally.

How We Can Help

We offer comprehensive legal support across various employment law areas, including:

• Employment discrimination: We fight against unfair treatment based on race, gender, age or other protected characteristics.
• Retaliation: We address situations where employees face adverse employment action – such as demotions, unfavorable work assignments or wrongful termination – in retaliation for asserting their rights.
• Sexual harassment: We advocate for employees experiencing mistreatment or harassment on the basis of sex or sexual orientation, including situations involving quid pro quo harassment and unwanted sexual advances.
• Wage and hour issues: We help employees stand up for their rights regarding meal and rest breaks, overtime pay, fair wages, and related issues.
• Severance agreements: We help negotiate fair severance terms when employment ends.
• Employment contracts: We assist in understanding and negotiating the terms of employment agreements.
• Freelance work: We provide guidance on New York’s Freelance Isn’t Free Act, which provides legal protections for freelancers.

We work with employees from diverse backgrounds and industries, from entry-level hourly employees to high-level executives, bringing the same dedication and unwavering commitment to each and every case. Because we also represent employers and businesses, we understand these cases from both sides of the table. This well-rounded perspective helps us understand what motivates employers and how to best position our clients’ cases for favorable results.
