Wrongful Termination Lawyers Serving New York & New Jersey

Employment Attorneys Protect Employee Rights

If your employer dismissed you for an unlawful reason, you can fight back. If you were terminated when your employer did not have the right to release you “at will” or as retaliation, we can help. At Kantrowitz, Goldhamer, Graifman, Perlmutter & Carballo, P.C., we are experienced wrongful termination and employment lawyers who have been serving employees and employers alike for nearly four decades.

Losing your job is stressful no matter the circumstances, but feeling as though you have been wronged by a former employer can be particularly distressing. If you believe that you were wrongfully terminated, KGG employment law attorneys will protect your rights. We have a reputation for results that give you confidence in our team to fight for you and lend credibility to your case.

What is Wrongful Termination?

Some common grounds for legitimate wrongful termination suits include:

Discrimination on the basis of race, gender (including pregnancy), religion, national origin, sexual orientation, and disability
Sexual harassment
Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) Disputes
Hostile work environment
Whistleblower retaliation
Wage, hour and overtime issues
Direct violation of a written or verbal employment agreement

Victims of wrongful termination can sue to recoup lost wages and benefits and pursue an award that reflects emotional harm and reputational damage. Our employment lawyers can represent you if you suffered financial and/or emotional damage due to defamatory statements made about you by your former employer.

Employment Attorneys Who Handle Wrongful Termination Suits

Our employment attorneys are also experienced in handling negotiations or litigation on behalf of a business owner or employer who is facing allegations of wrongful termination. Our investigators and research resources explore every avenue to defend an employer’s right to conduct business as they wish without workforce legal issues.

We will examine the facts of your case and give you an honest and fair assessment as to how we believe it will be most beneficial to proceed. If you are an employer in this type of dispute with a former employee, and you believe you have done nothing wrong, speak with KGG about the best way to forcefully defend your position.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. KGG Law, and Barry Kantrowitz in particular, set the bar high for what a thorough, practical, strategic, compassionate and smart lawyer can be. Everything about Barry's advice and representation was exemplary and the stress mitigation that resulted was invaluable. On top of that, the ultimate result Barry achieved was beyond what was reasonable to expect and we are forever grateful. Often, people say that you hire a lawyer to prevent a problem. Sometimes, unfortunately, you need an attorney to solve a problem and I could not recommend Barry and his firm any more highly in that regard.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My dad had a great experience with this law firm. From the very beginning, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and always willing to answer our questions. They kept us informed throughout the entire process and made what could have been a very stressful situation much easier to handle. We truly appreciated their dedication, honesty, and hard work. Thanks to their support, my dad felt confident every step of the way. We are very grateful for everything they did and would highly recommend this firm to anyone looking for reliable legal representation.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a wonderful experience working with Sam Smith. He was very responsive, thorough, and easy to work with from start to finish. He walked me through everything clearly and made what started as a very stressful situation for me into something completely manageable. I would not hesitate to recommend him and the firm!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kate Carballo is a dedicated, passionate, and creative attorney whom I had the pleasure to lecture with at a state trial lawyer's conference. Kate's lecture demonstrated how she uses her innovative and "out-of-the-box thinking" to achieve outstanding results for her injured clients. That Kate is certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as a civil trial attorney is a testament to her skills, experience and commitment to excellence.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Was referred to KGG law by a friend and could not have asked for better legal representation. They walked me through every step of the process after my accident and began every call with “ how are you feeling” which was just one example of how much they care about their clients. They handled my case very efficiently, professionally and courteously. My attorney Kate Carballo was a rock star! So clearly experienced, she consistently made me feel at ease with the process. Highly recommend

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience with the team at KGG Law. While it was a traumatic time for our family, they made it very easy for us and explained all of our options. They even performed due diligence to make sure that after our settlement, there would be no further issues which I think is even more important than the settlement itself. Thank you!
