Changing the workplace can change the world. When people are able to succeed in the workplace, they succeed in the eyes of others and erode prejudicial notions and stereotypes. By removing impediments to success—such as discrimination and harassment—dedicated employment law attorneys can help ensure that everyone has a chance to be successful. Ricotta & Marks, P.C., is a Queens-based employment discrimination law firm whose mission is to protect the rights of employees and bring about a better work environment for employees, and a better world.

As an employee, you have certain rights that are protected by state and federal laws. Even though many of these laws have been on the books for decades, employers still violate them. Your employer might also take advantage of your fear that you will lose your job if you speak up, but the law protects you from employer retaliation.
