EMPLOYMENT LAW
You Deserve Respect, Fair Treatment and a Legal Advocate Who Fights for Your Rights
No one should feel unsafe, disrespected, or unfairly treated at work—yet thousands of New Jersey workers face illegal workplace discrimination every year. At Davison Eastman Muñoz Paone, our experienced employment discrimination attorneys help employees hold employers accountable when they violate state or federal anti-discrimination laws.
If you’ve been denied promotions, terminated, harassed, or treated unfairly due to who you are—your race, gender, age, religion, disability, or other protected trait—you may have the right to legal action. Our workplace discrimination lawyers are here to listen, advise, and fight for the justice you deserve.
What Is Workplace Discrimination?
Workplace discrimination occurs when an employer takes adverse action against an employee because of a legally protected characteristic. This may include:
- Firing or demotion
- Unequal pay
- Harassment or a hostile work environment
- Retaliation after reporting an issue
- Denial of reasonable accommodations
Such behavior is unlawful under both New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (LAD) and federal statutes like Title VII, the ADA, and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA).

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS About Employment Discrimination
What should I do if I think I’ve been discriminated against?
Start documenting everything—emails, conversations, performance reviews—and speak with a workplace discrimination attorney immediately. The sooner we’re involved, the stronger your case can be.
Can I be fired for reporting discrimination?
No. Retaliation is illegal. If your employer punishes you for speaking up, that’s grounds for a separate legal claim.
Do I need to file with the EEOC before suing?
Yes, in many cases. You typically must file a charge of discrimination with the EEOC or New Jersey Division on Civil Rights before filing a lawsuit. Our workplace discrimination lawyers can guide you through this process.
What compensation can I receive?
Possible damages include lost pay, emotional distress, attorney’s fees, and sometimes punitive damages if the conduct was especially harmful.
