Overtime Violations
Workers in Queens deserve to be paid for the hours they work. If your employer has failed to pay overtime wages or forced you to work without proper compensation, our legal team will help you fight for what you are owed. We’ll review your situation, identify any violations of labor laws, and take action to recover your lost wages.
Sexual Harassment in the Workplace
Sexual harassment is a serious issue across industries in Queens. Whether it’s unwelcome advances, derogatory comments, or a hostile work environment, no one should have to endure such treatment. Our attorneys advocate for victims, guiding them through the legal process and taking a strong stand against harassment to foster safer workplaces.
Age Discrimination
Queens is home to a wide range of workers, including seasoned professionals who bring valuable experience to their roles. Unfortunately, some face age-related discrimination, such as wrongful termination or missed promotions. At Brown Kwon & Lam, we are committed to ensuring older employees are treated with respect and fairness.
Pregnancy Discrimination
Expecting a child should never jeopardize your job. If your employer has refused reasonable accommodations, reduced your hours, or penalized you due to pregnancy, we’re here to fight for your rights. We help protect pregnant workers from bias and ensure equal opportunities in the workplace.
Recovering Unpaid Commissions
Many Queens professionals rely on commissions as an essential part of their earnings. If your employer has withheld your rightful commissions, our attorneys will hold them accountable and recover your unpaid income.

How Queens Employment Law Cases Typically Move Forward
Every employment matter is different, but most cases follow a similar process. We guide clients through each stage, explain available options, and help them make informed decisions.
Our approach includes:
- Initial consultation: We discuss your employment history, concerns, and goals.
- Case evaluation: We review documents such as employment agreements, pay records, emails, and workplace policies.
- Strategy development: We determine whether negotiation, an administrative complaint, or litigation is the most appropriate course of action.
- Resolution efforts: Many cases are resolved through negotiation or mediation, though we prepare for litigation when necessary.
- Ongoing communication: We keep you informed about deadlines, case developments, and your legal options throughout the process.
Our goal is to pursue a resolution that protects your rights and aligns with your personal and professional objectives.
Understanding Your Rights Under New York Employment Laws
Employees in Queens are protected by federal, New York State, and New York City employment laws that prohibit discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wage violations, and other unlawful workplace practices. These laws provide important rights, but strict deadlines and procedural requirements may apply. Reviewing your situation with a Queens employment law attorney can help you understand your legal options, identify potential claims, and determine the best path forward.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Do I Know If I Have an Employment Law Claim?
You may have an employment law claim if your employer violated your rights through discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wrongful termination, unpaid wages, or another unlawful workplace practice. Gather employment records, communications, and a timeline of events to help evaluate your situation. An employment lawyer in Queens can determine whether your circumstances may support a claim under federal, New York State, or New York City law.
What Should I Bring to an Initial Consultation?
Bring any employment contracts, offer letters, pay records, employee handbooks, performance reviews, and communications related to your concerns. If possible, prepare a timeline of important events and consider your goals, such as returning to work, negotiating a resolution, or seeking compensation. A Queens employment law attorney can review these materials to better assess your legal options and recommend appropriate next steps, and how applicable laws may affect your case.
Will My Employer Find Out That I Spoke With a Lawyer?
Speaking with an attorney is confidential, and your employer is not notified simply because you seek legal advice. Whether communication with your employer becomes necessary depends on the strategy you choose, such as negotiating a resolution or filing a legal claim. A Queens employment lawyer can explain the process and help you decide how to move forward while protecting your rights.
