Joseph, Herzfeld, Hester & Kirschenbaum is a New York City Employment law firm dedicated to representing employees who are victims of discrimination, wage and hour violations, harassment or other illegal and unfair treatment in the workplace. We handle individual claims and class actions brought by employees throughout the United States. Whether from New York or California, Washington or Florida, our employment lawyers will fight for the rights of workers who have had their wages, salaries and tips illegally underpaid, those who have been retaliated against for reporting illegal practices and those who are victims of on-the-job discrimination on the basis of race, gender, age, disability or other personal characteristics protected by law.

We are employment lawyers dedicated to protecting the rights of workers, and we never represent employers. Our experienced employment attorneys represent only workers whose rights have been violated. Since our firm was formed in 1999, we have sued employers from large corporations to small businesses, on behalf of clients ranging from part-time hourly workers to executives.

Maintaining good communication with clients is a priority at Joseph, Herzfeld, Hester & Kirschenbaum. Because many of our clients have not ever hired a lawyer for discrimination or unpaid overtime wage claims, we are committed to helping our clients understand their claims and the employment litigation process. We draw on decades of legal experience to give our clients the most thorough and realistic assessment of their cases possible, as well as sharp, assertive representation in court. And of course, we are also available for client phone calls and pride ourselves on treating our clients with respect and compassion during what is often a stressful time.

Every employee has rights, including the rights to be paid fairly and work in an environment free of prejudice. If you believe you have been discriminated against at work, retaliated against by your employer or were denied wages, tips or salary that you are legally owed, the Manhattan lawyers at Joseph, Herzfeld, Hester & Kirschenbaum can help. To learn more about your rights and your options, please contact us as soon as possible.
