New York City EEOC Attorneys Protect Victims From Discriminatory Hiring Practices

Ensuring your career is not limited by discriminatory business practices

You deserve a fair opportunity to fill positions that you are qualified to fill. Unfortunately, millions of Americans are unjustly deprived of career opportunities every year because race, ethnicity, sex or age. At Hepworth, Gershbaum & Roth, PLLC, our New York City Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) attorneys hold businesses accountable for using illegal hiring and promoting practices. We recover meaningful compensation for victims of employment discrimination.

What does the EEOC protect you from?

Both New York and Federal law establish that hiring decisions must be based purely on merit. This means that they must decide to hire or fire you solely based on your credentials and experience. These days, employers receive hundreds of applications for every opening they post. Proving that discrimination has occurred has become increasingly difficult because of this. Our New York City EEOC attorneys have an established reputation of success in these cases because we tenaciously accumulate evidence to build strong cases to prove discrimination. We have successfully proven discrimination in EEOC proceedings for:

• Race

• Sex

• National origin

• Religion

• Disability

• Age

• Color

• A prior history of filing an EEOC proceeding
