Before becoming a lawyer, the attorney featured here had another career — and was fired from it. That firsthand experience of losing a job shapes the way our team approaches workplace claims: not as abstract legal problems, but as events that upend someone’s income, routine, and sense of stability.
At our firm, we know that questions about harassment, discrimination, retaliation, or pregnancy discrimination can’t always be separated from everything else happening in a person’s life.
Press play to meet the attorney behind this perspective.
We Represent Workers — No One Else
Our firm represents workers, never employers or corporations. That focus guides everything we do for employees in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Florida who are confronting sexual harassment, retaliation, pregnancy discrimination, or employment discrimination.
The principle is straightforward: employees come first. For someone facing a workplace problem, that means working with a legal team whose attention is centered on what the employee experienced and what protections state and federal law provide.
Listening Is Part of the Work
Workplace disputes rarely fit neatly into a single conversation. A person may be weighing a lost job, a difficult supervisor, missed income, family responsibilities, and the uncertainty of what comes next — all while trying to understand whether what happened was unlawful. Listening closely helps our attorneys assess the facts and prepare for the arguments an employer is likely to raise, while also ensuring each client is treated as a person, not just a set of documents.
When the Stakes at Work Are High
When someone believes they were treated differently because of race, religion, pregnancy, or another protected characteristic — or after refusing unwanted advances or reporting misconduct — the effects can reach every part of their professional life. These aren’t situations that benefit from a rushed conversation.
Phillips & Associates, PLLC brings together attorneys and legal staff focused on employee rights. If something at work doesn’t feel right, call our team at (866) 229-9441 to talk through what happened.
