About Queens

Founded in 1683, Queens was one of the ten original counties of New York. With 118 square miles of land area, Queens became one of the city’s five incorporated boroughs in January 1898. The opening of the Triborough Bridge, Grand Central Parkway, and La Guardia Airport established Queens as a place of national significance. In preparation for the 1940s World’s Fair, Queens widened Astoria Boulevard and eliminated the Corona dumps, dubbed the “valley of ashes” by F. Scott Fitzgerald in The Great Gatsby. Today, Queens is a massive urban complex with 1.9 million inhabitants. The original inhabitants, the Native Americans, gave way to the Dutch and English, and then to an ever-increasing flood of multiethnic settlers. A sampling of the famous people who grew up here is a testament to the borough’s diversity. Ethel Merman, Nancy Reagan, Donald Trump, Al Roker, Lucy Liu, and rapper Nas all hail from Queens. Phillips & Associates fights for your rights in the workplace. Don’t be a victim of workplace discrimination. Our Queens Discrimination Attorneys are here to help.

Discrimination in the Workplace

At Phillips & Associates, PLLC, we understand that it is often difficult for victims of discrimination to speak up. Complaining might result in retaliation, a hostile work environment, or even losing your job. But no one should have to tolerate harassment or derision at work. Under the law, innate qualities such as race, religion, and national origin cannot form the basis of adverse employment decisions. If you have been the victim of discrimination, Phillips & Associates, PLLC can help you find legal recourse for your harm. Based on our experience, we know how to present your claim in the strongest possible light. We can help you more effectively present your claim to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and aggressively pursue your rights in EEOC mediation, settlement negotiations, or trial, if necessary. Our employment attorneys handle cases in Queens and the New York City area. Don’t be a victim of discrimination or discrimination. 

Common Workplace Discrimination Issues 

Employees in Queens encounter many different forms of discrimination, and understanding these patterns can help you recognize when your rights may have been violated. Some workers experience obvious slurs or derogatory comments, while others see more subtle forms of bias, such as being consistently passed over for promotions, denied training, or assigned the worst shifts. We regularly hear from people who work in hospitals, schools, retail stores, restaurants, construction sites, and offices throughout Queens who are concerned that they are being treated differently because of who they are rather than how they perform. Talking with a workplace discrimination lawyer in Queens, residents can consult to give them a clearer picture of whether what they are facing is illegal and what evidence can support their claim.
Discrimination can also intersect with other illegal conduct, such as sexual harassment, retaliation for reporting misconduct, or unfair treatment after requesting medical or religious accommodations. For example, a worker might be written up repeatedly or pushed out after taking pregnancy leave, or an employee may suddenly be demoted after complaining to human resources about racial jokes on the job. In some cases, these issues lead to complaints with the EEOC or the New York State Division of Human Rights, and in other cases, they proceed to court in Queens County or federal court in the Eastern District of New York. By understanding how these processes work and what outcomes are possible, you can make choices that align with your priorities, whether that means attempting to resolve the problem internally or pursuing a formal legal claim.
