What Can an Employment Lawyer Do for Me?

Most people don’t think about employment law until something goes wrong. But everything you’ve worked for may be on the line when it does. A Long Island employment lawyer helps protect your livelihood and dignity by tackling the legal issues that surface in the workplace, including:

  • Workplace discrimination—whether based on race, religion, age, disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity;
  • Sexual harassment—including hostile work environments, inappropriate touching, or retaliatory actions after rejecting advances;
  • Wrongful termination—firing in violation of public policy or protected class status;
  • Wage violations—such as unpaid overtime, illegal tip pooling, or being misclassified as an independent contractor; and
  • Retaliation—punishment for speaking up about workplace wrongdoing.

Supriya not only offers legal advice. She also helps clients negotiate settlements, file complaints with state and federal agencies, and, if necessary, pursue aggressive litigation to secure justice.

Discrimination and Harassment: When Your Identity Becomes a Target

Federal laws, such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), make it illegal for employers to mistreat workers based on protected characteristics. New York law goes even further, offering broader protections under the New York State Human Rights Law.

If you’ve been passed over for promotion because of your accent, harassed because of your gender, or retaliated against for reporting racist jokes, you don’t have to accept it. You have legal options, and Supriya will help you take action. Her Long Island employment law lawyer services work to uncover patterns, document evidence, and hold employers accountable.

Wage Theft and Misclassification: When Employers Cut Corners

Whether you work in construction, hospitality, or finance, your time matters. Yet wage theft is rampant. Employers often violate New York Labor Law and the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) in subtle ways, including:

  • Failing to pay overtime—salaried status doesn’t automatically mean exempt from overtime;
  • Requiring off-the-clock work—such as pre-shift meetings or unpaid cleanup duties;
  • Misclassifying employees—labeling workers as “independent contractors” to avoid taxes and benefits; and
  • Improper deductions—withholding pay for uniform costs, tools, or broken equipment.

Supriya will help you calculate the full scope of damages, collect time and pay records, and bring employers to justice. Employees are often entitled to back pay, double damages, and attorneys’ fees.

Retaliation and Wrongful Termination: When Doing the Right Thing Costs You

You raised your voice and reported illegal activity or unsafe conditions, and then your employer wrote you up, demoted you, or fired you. Fortunately, those actions are all considered retaliation and illegal under state and federal law. Employers cannot punish you for engaging in protected activities, such as filing a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or the New York State Division of Human Rights (NYSDHR).

Wrongful termination is more than unfair treatment. It’s firing that violates:

  • Public policy—like terminating someone for serving jury duty or taking family medical leave;
  • Employment contracts—written or implied agreements that promise job security; and
  • Discrimination laws—terminating based on race, gender, religion, or another protected trait.

As a seasoned Long Island employment law lawyer, Supriya fights back with precision, empathy, and strategy. She helps clients uncover the reasons behind terminations and seeks remedies that restore more than income—they regain your confidence.

How Can an Experienced Employment Attorney Help Me Navigate the Law?

Employment claims often involve complex procedures and tight deadlines. You may lose your right to recover damages if you miss a step.

Here’s how a skilled Long Island employment attorney like Supriya can help:

  • Reviewing employer policies and handbooks. We look for inconsistencies between your treatment and what the company claims to uphold.
  • Filing complaints. Supriya helps you file your claim correctly and on time with the EEOC or NYSDHR.
  • Gathering evidence. Building a winning case requires strong proof of wrongdoing, including emails and witness statements.
  • Communicating with government investigators. Providing context and clarity that can tip the scales in your favor.
  • Negotiating settlements. Many cases can resolve without trial, but you need someone who knows how to bargain from a position of strength.
  • Representing you in court. If negotiations stall, Supriya is ready to litigate your case before judges or juries.

These steps are never easy, but they’re far less daunting with the right guide by your side.
