New Jersey Employment Discrimination Attorneys

The New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (LAD) makes it unlawful for employers to discriminate against an employee or prospective employee on the basis of any protected category.  Employees in the State of New Jersey are generally considered to be “at will.”  This means that your position or job may be terminated without reason at any time.  Also, your employer can take disciplinary action against you at any time at all.  Unfortunately, your job is not secure, but your rights should be. 

Contact the Experienced Attorneys at Maizel Legal Associates to determine whether you have a case.
There are exceptions to this rule.  The attorneys at Maizel Legal Associates are experienced employment lawyers who know the law. 

An employer cannot fire or discipline an employee for improper reasons.  In other words, an employer cannot take action against an employee because of:

• Age
• Race
• Religion
• Ethnicity
• Disability
• Sexual Orientation
• Pregnancy Status
• Gender 

Also, an employer cannot fail to hire a potential employee because of their age, race, religion, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, pregnancy status, and/or gender.  In New Jersey, there is no requirement that a claim of wrongful termination is filed with the EEOC.  Therefore, it is important that you consult with an attorney immediately to discuss your case.
