Unlawful Termination and Unaddressed Injustice
Unlawful termination can take many forms, and understanding these forms is crucial to recognizing violations of your rights. Common examples include situations where employees are:
- Fired for discriminatory reasons based on race, gender, religion, or national origin;
- Let go in retaliation for reporting wage theft, harassment, or unsafe working conditions; or
- Terminated in violation of an employment contract or labor laws.
Each scenario represents a breach of legal protections meant to safeguard employees. Unfortunately, many individuals, particularly from immigrant communities, hesitate to speak out. Fear of retaliation or language barriers can prevent workers from claiming their legal rights.
Wrongful termination is illegal under New York and federal law. You don’t have to face this alone. Our firm is here to stand by your side and guide you through the process of seeking justice.

How Wrongful Termination Lawyers Can Help You
Navigating the aftermath of wrongful termination can feel overwhelming. A clear plan can make all the difference, and we can help.
Understanding Your Rights
The first step is understanding whether your termination violated employment laws. As your wrongful termination attorney, Supriya will review your case details, including employment contracts and communications, and identify any violations of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), or the New York State Human Rights Law.
This step ensures that we have a solid foundation for your claim and provides clarity on the legal avenues available to you.
Building a Strong Case
Once we’ve determined that your termination was unlawful, we will file complaints with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or New York Division of Human Rights (DHR), if applicable, and gather evidence, including witness statements and documentation, to support your claim.
Building a strong case involves meticulous attention to detail and thorough preparation, and we ensure no stone is left unturned.
Fighting for Justice
We will work tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcome for your case, which may include:
- Securing back pay for unpaid wages and lost income,
- Pursuing compensation for emotional distress or other damages, and
- Advocating for reinstatement to your former position or negotiating a fair settlement.
By following this structured approach, we aim to help you reclaim your rights and rebuild your confidence in the workplace.
