Marital Status Discrimination Lawyers

Marital Status Discrimination Lawyers in Queens, NY

Your Marital Status Shouldn’t Determine Your Vocation

Many employers want their employees to demonstrate a complete commitment to the company—and they assume that employees with families are incapable of doing so. Instead of working with employees to find a schedule that works for everyone, some employers will fire employees as soon as they have children. For many parents, juggling work and family is challenging enough. Facing discrimination based on familial status can be too much for parents to bear alone. That is why the Ricotta & Marks, P.C. marital status discrimination lawyers in Queens, NY are dedicated to providing guidance and support to parents who face discrimination in the workplace. You have rights under the law.

If you or your spouse were discriminated against based on your marital status, please call our Queens law office or our Long Island law office at (716) 301-2704 for a confidential initial consultation.

Discrimination Against Single Mothers in New York City and Queens, NY

Often, this type of employment discrimination falls heavily on single mothers.

Family status discrimination can come in a wide range of different forms. That being said, far too frequently, the brunt of the unequal treatment falls on single parents—particularly on single mothers. Over time, denied promotions can cause a single mother’s career to stall and make it extremely difficult for her to support her family.

Since discrimination against a single mother is often less overt than other forms, it can be difficult to identify. However, if you are a single mother and feel that your employer discriminated against you, our lawyers will take aggressive action on your behalf. We can pursue economic, emotional and punitive damages. If your goal is to keep your job, we can help to ensure that your employer follows the law—and allows you to remain in your position.

Of course, single fathers may also experience marital status discrimination. If you are a single father and you believe that you were denied opportunities in the workplace based on your family status, call our Queens & Long Island workplace discrimination attorneys for immediate help.
