A toxic workplace doesn’t always reveal itself in shouting matches or slammed doors. Sometimes, it’s the quiet things: hours shaved from your paycheck, whispers in the hallway after you speak up, or a promotion that vanishes when you return from medical leave. While you may initially question your instincts, the injustice settles in your gut like a rock. That’s when it’s time to call a Bronx employment lawyer.

If you’re dealing with discrimination, wrongful termination, retaliation, or wage violations, the team at the Law Offices of Supriya Kichloo, P.C. will listen, guide, and act. And your initial consultation costs nothing.
What Can a Bronx Employment Lawyer Help Me With?
You don’t need to endure mistreatment at work to keep your job. A knowledgeable Bronx employment lawyer can help you hold your employer accountable when they violate the law. Common employment issues include:
- Wrongful termination—being fired for discriminatory reasons, in retaliation for whistleblowing, or in violation of public policy;
- Wage and hour violations—such as unpaid overtime, misclassification as an independent contractor, or withheld wages;
- Workplace discrimination—based on race, religion, sex, age, disability, pregnancy, or sexual orientation;
- Hostile work environments—where harassment, threats, or discriminatory conduct interferes with your ability to work;
- Employer retaliation—punishment for reporting illegal conduct, requesting accommodations, or filing a complaint.
- Denied accommodations—when employers refuse to make reasonable adjustments for medical conditions or religious practices;
- Unequal pay—receiving less compensation than peers for the same work due to gender, race, or other protected status; and
- Constructive discharge—being forced to resign due to intolerable working conditions created by employer misconduct.
At the Law Offices of Supriya Kichloo, P.C. we help clients file complaints with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or the New York State Division of Human Rights (NYSDHR) and pursue compensation, reinstatement, and workplace reform.
What Are the Legal Protections for Bronx Workers?
Federal and state laws provide strong protections for employees. But enforcing those protections requires knowledge, courage, and action. Supriya empowers her clients by leveraging these and other state and federal employment laws:
- Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This landmark act prohibits workplace discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.
- Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This protective act requires employers to provide reasonable accommodations and prohibits discrimination based on disability.
- Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA). Equally important, the ADEA protects employees over 40 from being targeted for layoffs, demotions, or bias.
- Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The federal law mandates minimum wage, overtime pay, and record-keeping requirements.
- New York Labor Law. The state expands protections around wages, breaks, and retaliation beyond what federal law provides.
When you work with us, you gain a legal partner who will assert every applicable protection on your behalf.

- Communicating with investigators—clarifying your case facts and providing necessary context during agency reviews;
- Preparing you for deposition or testimony—ensuring your voice comes through clearly and effectively under pressure;
- Responding to employer defenses—crafting persuasive replies to attempts to downplay or dismiss your claims;

Supriya tailors her approach to fit your goals, whether that means a swift resolution or a firm stand from case inception through trial.
Why Is Having Legal Representation Important in Employment Cases?
Standing up to an employer is not only difficult but also risky. Many workers suffer in silence because they fear retaliation or don’t know their rights. However, working with a Bronx employment law lawyer can change everything.
Legal counsel helps you:
- Understand your rights. You will know what protections apply to your case and what actions are illegal.
- Avoid costly mistakes. Errors like missing deadlines, saying the wrong thing in a meeting, or filing an erroneous complaint can all cost you.
- Preserve evidence. Essential documentation and other evidence often disappear quickly without proper guidance.
- Shift the power dynamic. We take control so you’re no longer fighting from the outside but with the force of law behind you.
Without guidance, even the most substantial claims can falter. But justice is attainable with a Bronx employment law lawyer on your side.
