Areas of Law Description

The Mark Law firm, LLC provides legal representation and services in the following areas of practice:

- Employment Law

New Jersey is an at-will employment state. Unless you have a contract that says otherwise, that means your employer can fire you for any reason, except on the basis of race, sex, age, religion and other protected categories. The Essex County employee rights attorneys at Mark Law Firm, LLC, handle a wide range of employment law issues, including:

*Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment in the workplace is illegal. If you have suffered this unjust treatment, you owe it to yourself to seek restitution. Such treatment can harm your career prospects and psychological well-being for years to come. Seek justice instead. Mark Law Firm, LLC, will provide aggressive, thoughtful, analytic representation. Mr. Mark is a former employment law defense lawyer. His experience on the other side means he has insight into the strategy of your opposition.

*Retaliation
People take a huge risk when they blow the whistle on illegal actions. Retaliation can include less desirable work. Employees can be ostracized, scorned or ridiculed. They may even be fired. For the whistleblower, that behavior constitutes retaliation — and wrongful termination. And retaliation for this activity is against the law. If you have suffered whistleblower retaliation, whether via wrongful termination or any other negative action, the Mark Law Firm, LLC, can help you stand up and enforce your rights.

*Discrimination
If you believe you have experienced discrimination in the workplace, protect your rights. You may have lost your job, been demoted or lost a promotion due to discrimination. Mark Law Firm, LLC, represents employees who have been wronged by employers, and pursues all claims vigorously.

• Threatening or harassing the whistleblower
• Cutting pay or work hours
• Reassigning the whistleblower to a less lucrative position

If you have been fired due to your whistleblowing activities, you may be able to file a wrongful termination claim. If your employer has made life at work so bad you had to quit, you may be entitled to pursue a constructive discharge claim.
