Employment lawyers for workers in New York
You may have more rights than your employer wants you to know. Diederich Law Office helps employees throughout New York hold employers accountable for wrongful termination, retaliation, discrimination, wage theft, workplace harassment, and unfair severance agreements.
Most cases are taken on a contingency-fee basis — if we don't recover compensation, you generally owe no attorney's fees.
Practice Areas
If your employer broke the law, you deserve someone in your corner who knows how to hold them accountable.
Fired for reasons that violate the law? We help employees determine whether they have a claim and pursue accountability.
Race, gender, age, disability, FMLA leave, pregnancy, religion, and other protected characteristics should never determine a person's opportunities at work.
Employers cannot legally punish workers for reporting unlawful conduct or exercising protected rights.
Workers deserve every dollar they earn. Diederich Law Office doesn't let anyone take it.
Employees who expose wrongdoing should be protected, not punished. If your workplace gave you a hard time for keeping your team safe and sound, we're here to help.
Before you sign away your rights, let us review your severance agreement, explain what you may be giving up, and negotiate for the package you deserve.
Not sure which category fits your situation? That's what we're here for.
