About Ricotta & Marks, P.C. Employment Lawyers and Workplace Discrimination Attorneys
Employment Law Is All We Do
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 NYC-based law firm, with locations in Queens and Long Island, 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.
For many workers, success in the workplace is the path to a better life. However, many employers add hurdles to that path. At Ricotta & Marks, P.C., we work to eliminate those hurdles, so that all workers have the opportunity to achieve their goals.
In order to better serve our clients, we control our caseload so that the case-per-attorney ratio remains low. This allows us to spend more time per case and increase our involvement in each case so that we are able to catch even the smallest details.
“When an urgent situation arises, one of our partners will respond quickly, so you can move forward confidently.”
We provide each client with personalized attention to determine whether we can help or offer professional referrals. In addition to keeping our caseload manageable, our selection process helps us find clients who will benefit most from our services. Our lawyers strive to return calls promptly; we try to call back within the hour, and guarantee that we will return the call within 24 hours.
We understand that your situation is urgent. Our Long Island and Queens employment discrimination attorneys will respond to your questions and concerns as quickly as possible.

“Matt was detail oriented, professional, kind and helpful.”
My experience was pleasant, very professional and I would recommend their service to friends and family. I felt understood during the duration of my lawsuit and when I decided to not continue due to personal matters, he was able to get a settlement on my behalf which was very helpful.
Other firms may handle employment law cases occasionally. Our lawyers focus exclusively on employment law. We handle employment law cases every day. We take on issues such as unpaid overtime, harassment and discrimination in all of its forms. We also work closely with teachers facing 3020-a hearings and employees who lose their jobs for attempting to unionize.
The lawyers at our firm have more than 20 years of combined experience. We are willing to take cases to court when reasonable settlements cannot be reached. We excel at trial, winning some of the state’s highest trial verdicts in recent years.
