Brooklyn EEOC Representation Lawyer

Workplace discrimination can be emotionally exhausting and legally complex. In Brooklyn and across New York City, employees who face harassment, unfair treatment, or retaliation have the right to pursue justice through the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Greenberg Gross LLP represents individuals in all stages of the EEOC process, helping them protect their rights under federal and state anti-discrimination laws.

Whether you’re a current employee, a job applicant, or someone recently terminated, if you’ve faced unlawful treatment based on race, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, religion, or disability, our attorneys offer strong legal representation. We provide thorough support from filing your EEOC claim to preparing for federal court if necessary, ensuring that your legal rights are upheld.

Navigating the EEOC Process with Legal Support

The EEOC is responsible for enforcing Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and other federal laws that protect workers from employment discrimination. Filing an EEOC claim is often the first step in holding an employer accountable for discriminatory behavior. However, navigating this process without legal counsel can be overwhelming. Our legal team works closely with employees to file timely, accurate claims, document the harm suffered, and advocate throughout investigations or conciliation efforts.

Employees come to us after experiencing discriminatory behavior such as denied promotions, unequal pay, termination based on a protected characteristic, or being forced into a hostile work environment. In many cases, employers violate federal laws while also breaching New York State or New York City Human Rights Law. Our attorneys identify all avenues for legal action and help employees enforce their rights under both state and federal laws.

Fighting Workplace Discrimination in Brooklyn

Discrimination can appear in many forms—some overt, others subtle. You may face exclusion, ongoing harassment, unfair disciplinary measures, or retaliation for speaking out. Our firm represents employees from diverse backgrounds who have been harmed due to race, national origin, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, or genetic information. We also assist those with disabilities who are denied accommodations or targeted for taking protected medical leave.

The legal process begins with a strong, well-documented EEOC claim. We help clients gather evidence, understand how to demonstrate discriminatory intent or disparate impact, and respond to employer defenses. If the EEOC issues a right-to-sue letter, we are prepared to move the case forward through legal proceedings in state or federal court.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of discrimination can I report to the EEOC?

You can report employment discrimination based on race, sex, religion, national origin, disability, age, genetic information, and more. The EEOC also handles retaliation claims for those who report or oppose unlawful practices.

How long do I have to file an EEOC claim?

Generally, you have 300 days from the date of the discriminatory action in New York to file with the EEOC. Our attorneys can help ensure deadlines are met and claims are filed correctly.

What happens after I file an EEOC claim?

The EEOC will investigate, may offer mediation, and could issue a right-to-sue letter. At that point, you may pursue a lawsuit in federal court with legal representation.

Can I still file a lawsuit if the EEOC dismisses my claim?

Yes. If the EEOC dismisses your claim or does not resolve it through investigation or mediation, they will issue a “right to sue” letter. This gives you the legal right to file a discrimination lawsuit in federal court, and our attorneys can guide you through the legal proceedings.

What if my employer retaliates after I file with the EEOC?

Retaliation for filing an EEOC claim is illegal. If your employer takes adverse action—such as demotion, termination, or workplace hostility—after you file, you may have a separate retaliation claim. We can help you pursue both your original discrimination claim and the retaliation issue.
