Filing a Lawsuit

On some occasions, a New York severance lawyer will be unable to negotiate with your employer for proper severance pay. In such a situation, filing a lawsuit may be your only available alternative. May companies will not offer proper severance pay and benefits and will force an employee to file a lawsuit in order to rightfully recover what they are owed. The New York severance lawyers at Fitapelli & Schaffer will be a great resource to maximize your award.

Employee Rights

If you believe you have experienced employment discrimination because of your age, disability, gender, national origin, pregnancy, harassment, race, religion, medical leave or sexual orientation, or if you have not been paid proper wages, we strongly advise you to contact a New York City employment attorney who can provide you with the legal advice needed to make an informed decision.

If you sign your severance agreement, you forgo your right to sue for many of these claims. The severance lawyers of Fitapelli & Schaffer can provide you with the legal advice needed to decide whether to sign your severance package or pursue a claim for discrimination, harassment or proper wages. In the alternative, the severance lawyers of Fitapelli & Schaffer may be able to negotiate for a better severance package based on potential claims you have against your employer.
