Claims for Wrongful Termination of Employment (Discrimination, Whistleblower Retaliation, Sexual Harassment, Disability, Age, Religion, Family Leave, and More)
INTRODUCTION TO LAW AGAINST DISCRIMINATION
The New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (LAD) was enacted a long time ago. LAD outlaws unlawful employment discrimination against any person by reason of age, ancestry, liability for service in the Armed Forces of the United States, color, creed, disability, marital status, pregnancy, civil union status, domestic partnership status, national origin, nationality, sex, affectional or sexual orientation, gender, identity or expression, genetic information, refusal to submit to genetic testing, refusal to provide genetic information or race of that person, or of that person’s spouse, partners, member stockholders, directors, officers, managers, superintendents, agents, employees, business associates, suppliers, or customers.
SCOPE OF COVERAGE OF LAD
The LAD also prohibits discrimination in places of public accommodation, transactions involving real property, and a variety of other contractual relationships.
The LAD prohibits unlawful employment discrimination by employers, labor organizations, and employment agencies. In addition, any person who (1) aids, abets, or otherwise assists in the commission of or attempts to commit any of the acts declared unlawful by the LAD or (2) retaliates against a person who engaged in conduct protected by the LAD violates the LAD.

TESTIMONIAL
I didn’t know who to turn to for legal advice. There are so many lawyers, but who was the right one for me? I wanted someone who would listen to me and someone I could afford. I knew I couldn’t afford to be without an attorney, and then I remembered an old cliché…” you get what you pay for”. But there can be a difference between high price and high value. With Fredrick P. Niemann, I got a terrific attorney who really worked with me. He was with me every step of the way. His fees were fair, and our interpersonal relationship was great. I would recommend Fredrick P. Niemann to anyone who wants a caring attorney.

TESTIMONIAL
I own several small businesses. I’m good at what I do but legal matters and dealing with lawyers and legal issues is stressful. I called Fredrick P. Niemann and have developed a great relationship with his lawyers and staff. They have reviewed my leases, negotiated the buyout of my former business partner, handled land use problems in a neighboring county and generally have really been there for me. I really like them personally and professionally. If you are a small business owner, give them a call.
