Brooklyn NY Wrongful Termination Attorneys
What Is Wrongful Termination? | Brooklyn, NY Wrongful Termination Attorneys
This is a very good question, because New York is an employment at will state. This means your employer often does not need a reason to fire you unless you have signed an employment contract or bargaining agreement that says cause must be provided. At Ricotta & Marks PC, we understand that your career is important to you in terms of supporting yourself and your family, your future and your self-image. Our knowledge and application of state and federal laws may be the solution to your problem if you live or work in Brooklyn and feel you have been wrongfully dismissed from your job. Contact our New York employment law firm today to speak with one of our experienced and compassionate Brooklyn, NY wrongful termination attorneys about your situation during a free initial consultation.
However, wrongful termination may have occurred if you are discharged from employment for illegal reasons such as discrimination or if your company violated its own policy by firing you. Losing your job in this way can easily leave you feeling angry, upset, scared and confused. You need a law firm that focuses exclusively on employment law and protecting your rights.
If you or a loved one has experienced employment discrimination, you may be unsure of where to turn for assistance. Call (917) 540-8565 to schedule a free consultation with a New York City employment discrimination attorney.

Former client
Dear Thomas and Stephen,
I’m writing this letter to express my deep gratitude for your efforts on my case.
Two years ago, I faced distressing and unjust treatment at my former job. I felt powerless to do anything. For several months, my attempts to find a lawyer were unsuccessful and many doors were closed in my face by firms that felt my case was too inconsequential to take on. In the face of discrimination at work, this process added to my discouragement and I learned the harsh reality of the legal system: not everyone can get help. Sometimes injustices slip through the cracks.
Thankfully, I did find a silver lining. You accepted my case and over many months patiently endured this legal process alongside me, sacrificing your time and effort to achieve a favorable outcome. Your legal assistance has empowered me, a person who has been marginalized systemically many times before, to believe that justice can prevail. It has helped restore my sense of dignity and reminded me that I don’t have to be afraid to stand up for myself. It has permanently changed my life for the better.
As you continue defending other client’s rights, I hope you know the powerful and positive impact you are creating in their lives. I wish you both many blessings and continued success in your legal work.
With the deepest gratitude,
Thank you very much. -
