Essex County Employee Harassment Attorneys
The Law Offices of Emanuel S. Fish are located in Maplewood, New Jersey, and serve clients throughout the Newark metro area and throughout New Jersey. We consider it a privilege to serve our clients and to have their trust and confidence in representing them. We know that our clients put their trust in us when they retain us to represent them.
Our legal practice concentrates on a number of areas, including:
Employment Law: New Jersey and federal law protects employees from illegal treatment at work. We are advocates for employees in a broad spectrum of employment claims, such as:
- Wrongful termination: If you have reason to believe you were wrongfully terminated from your job, talk to our law firm today.
- Sexual harassment: Sexual harassment can take on a number of forms in the workplace, from the promises of employment benefits in exchange for sexual favors (quid pro quo) to a hostile work environment. Sexual harassment includes sexually inappropriate comments, sexually inappropriate and unwanted touching, persistent and unwanted advances and many other unwanted sexual-related conduct by co-workers, supervisors and managers. Retaliation or adverse job actions by supervisors and management against an employee who complains about sexual harassment is also unlawful.
- Whistleblower claims: If your employer has terminated you or otherwise retaliated against you for reporting unlawful conduct in your workplace, our law firm can take action.
- Discrimination: It is illegal for employers to discriminate on the basis of race, gender, age, disability, national origin or ethnicity. If you have been discriminated on any of these bases, our law firm can enforce and protect your rights.
- Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA): The FMLA allows individuals to take up to 12 weeks unpaid leave for various reasons. If, after taking leave, your employer has terminated you, replaced you or taken some other adverse employment action, you may have a legal claim.
- Severance packages: Our law firm reviews and negotiates severance agreements on behalf of employees.
- Employment at-will: Although at-will employment laws give employers some discretion in terminating employees, employees still have rights in a number of circumstances.
Personal Injury: A serious personal injury can be devastating to the injured party and his or her family. We are strong legal advocates who take the burden of the legal proceedings off an injured person's shoulders so he or she can concentrate on healing.
Product Liability: We take action against manufacturers and distributors for injuries or deaths caused by unsafe products, products that are defective in their manufacture, or products that have insufficient or inadequate warnings.
Lead Poisoning: We have more than 35 years of experience focusing on cases involving infant and childhood lead poisoning.
Workers' Compensation: We represent injured workers seeking compensation and benefits after on-the-job injuries. We also handle any third-party liability actions arising out of workplace accidents.
