Two Ways to Take Action Against Your Employer in New Jersey

There are two basic routes an employee can follow to take action against an employer for wrongful termination. The statute of limitations for filing complaints with a state agency are usually shorter than the statute of limitations in New Jersey for filing a lawsuit.

The two ways you can pursue legal action against a New Jersey employer are:

• File a claim through through a state agency;

• Hire an employee rights attorney to file a private lawsuit.

There are many benefits to you when you hire our law firm to represent you, including:

• Your case will be evaluated immediately; you will not have to wait your “turn” while other cases ahead of yours are being processed by an agency;

• You will get personal attention from your own lawyer; complaints filed through agencies are assigned case numbers and you will not get the same time and attention our lawyers can provide to you;

• You will have timely information as to the status of your case, and legal counsel to help you make decisions about whether to settle or go to court;

• A state agency may decide not to pursue your complaint, or only offer to attempt to settle your case; if you have an action against your employer – we won’t back down.
