Stand Up Against Employer Retaliation with a Workplace Retaliation Lawyer NJ

Were you demoted, harassed, or fired after reporting misconduct or asserting your legal rights? That’s not just unfair—it’s illegal. Our experienced Workplace Retaliation Lawyer NJ helps employees throughout New Jersey take legal action against retaliatory employers and recover what they’ve lost.

At HS Law Group, we fight for workers who’ve been punished for doing the right thing—whether reporting discrimination, demanding fair wages, refusing illegal orders, or cooperating in investigations. Many of our clients also face related issues like wrongful termination, whistleblower retaliation, or hostile work environments, which we handle with expertise.

What Qualifies as Workplace Retaliation in NJ?

Firing After Reporting Harassment or Discrimination

If you were let go after filing a complaint with HR or a government agency, your employer may be liable.

Demotion, Harassment, or Pay Cuts After Complaints

Even if you weren’t fired, retaliation includes sudden job changes that hurt your career or income.

Retaliation for Requesting Accommodations or Leave

If you were punished for taking medical leave or asking for disability accommodations, that’s illegal under NJ and federal law.

Punishment for Reporting Wage Violations

Speaking up about wage theft or unpaid overtime shouldn’t lead to retaliation—we’ll make sure your employer pays.

Reprisal for Whistleblowing

New Jersey’s CEPA law protects you for reporting fraud, unsafe practices, or illegal company behavior.

Being Treated Differently for Cooperating in Investigations

Retaliation often follows testimony in EEOC or internal inquiries. This is also unlawful.
