Transgender Discrimination and Harassment Lawyers in Queens, NY

Transgender Discrimination and Harassment Lawyers

Transgender men and women face some of the most daunting challenges in the workplace—largely because many of the rules protecting transgender individuals are still being formed. Many lawyers do not handle cases involving transgender issues, but at Ricotta & Marks, P.C., we do. Though transgender discrimination is an evolving area of the law, it does not mean that you as a transgender individual do not have rights. You do. Our experienced transgender discrimination and harassment lawyers are dedicated to enforcing them.

At Ricotta & Marks, P.C., our transgender discrimination and harassment lawyers in Queens and Long Island are committed to advocating for fairness in the workplace—for everyone. You should not be treated differently because of your gender identity. If you faced employment discrimination based on actual or perceived transgender status, we can help. 

Call our law firm today at (716) 301-2704 to set up a strictly confidential consultation with an experienced workplace discrimination lawyer.

    “Good people work here.”

    This firm cares and knows how to properly assess the merits of your case. I know because I'm an attorney. I had retainer agreement offers from 4 other firms and Ricotta was my 1st choice based on their belief in my case and fair terms.

Transgender Harassment in the Workplace: What You Should Know

Some people incorrectly assume that they are prevented from bringing a discrimination claim simply because they have not been fired or demoted. This is a misconception. State and federal regulations protect employees from harassment in the workplace. As defined by the EEOC, harassment occurs when a person has been made to feel unsafe or unwelcome because of severe or pervasive mistreatment based on a protected characteristic. The requirements for establishing a claim of harassment, or hostile work environment, are even less stringent if you work in Queens, Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx, or Staten Island.

Harassment of transgender workers can be quite severe, but you do not need to battle it alone. You have the right to work in an environment that is free of harassment. Our attorneys will take action to ensure that your right to a harassment-free workplace is respected. We will take forceful action to protect your rights. If you were a victim of harassment in the workplace based on your gender identity, our New York LGBTQ employment rights lawyers are standing by, ready to help.
