Islip, NY Employment Law Attorneys

Wronged at Work in Islip? We’re Ready to Fight Back.

You give your time, energy, and skills every day. You expect to be treated fairly in return. 

When an employer crosses the line - whether through discrimination, retaliation, or unpaid wages - it’s more than a legal violation. It’s a betrayal of trust. 

Our employment law attorneys at Horn Wright, LLP, are here to stand with you, bringing strength, strategy, and a relentless drive to hold employers accountable. We fight hard for people who deserve better.

We understand the pressure you’re under when your job is ripped out from under you. Our employment law attorneys have a strong track record of standing up for workers who’ve been wronged. 

If you’re searching for a workplace discrimination lawyer who will actually listen and fight, you’ve got us.

Unpaid. Harassed. Fired. We’re Not Letting Them Get Away with It.

Whether you’re clocking in at South Shore University Hospital, helping customers at Tanger Outlets, or working night shifts on Montauk Highway - you’ve got rights. Real rights. 

When your boss acts like the rules don’t apply, we’re ready to remind them they do. Here’s what we’ve seen and stopped before:

• Stolen overtime pay or wages. If you make under $15/hour on Long Island in 2024, that’s illegal. No one should work hard only to be shortchanged.
• Sexist remarks or inappropriate touching. Harassment creates toxic workplaces where no one can thrive. Everyone deserves to feel safe and respected at work.
• Firing after reporting shady business practices. Reporting wrongdoing protects others too, and retaliation is illegal.
• Retaliation for taking medical or family leave. Whether you’re caring for yourself or a loved one, your job should be waiting for you.
• Being sidelined because you’re pregnant, older, or living with a disability. Every worker deserves a fair shot to succeed.

"At-Will" Doesn’t Mean "No Limits."

New York is an "at-will" state. But that doesn’t mean your boss can fire you for illegal reasons.

You’re protected against:

• Being fired based on race, gender, religion, or background. Discrimination destroys trust and opportunity in the workplace. You have the right to be judged by your work, not your identity.
• Getting punished for using your legal medical leave. Taking care of your health or your family shouldn’t cost you your livelihood.
• Facing retaliation after reporting misconduct. Employers can’t strike back against whistleblowers. Retaliation discourages others from doing the right thing.
• Being denied workplace accommodations for a disability. You have employment rights as an individual with disability. Refusing to accommodate disabilities pushes skilled people out of the workforce.

If your gut says you were wronged, trust it. We’ll trust you too. And we’ll act.

You Tell Us. We Hit Them Hard.

The second you call us, you’ll have a team that listens and moves fast. Depending on your situation, we might:

• File a charge with the EEOC to open an investigation. Filing a charge is often the first move to force accountability. It starts a formal inquiry and lets your employer know you mean business.
• Take them to New York State Court if negotiations fail. Sometimes companies dig in their heels even when they’re clearly wrong. We won’t back down. We prepare your case thoroughly and are ready to argue it in front of a judge.
• Push for a settlement to get you real compensation. Not every case needs to go to trial. We work hard to negotiate settlements that fully compensate you for lost wages, emotional harm, and more.
• March into court and make your story impossible to ignore. When employers refuse to do what’s right, we’re ready to lay out the evidence before a judge or jury. We build a story that is clear, powerful, and backed by hard proof.

We Know Islip’s Courts and Deadlines Don’t Wait.

We know Suffolk County Supreme Court and Central Islip Federal Courthouse inside and out. Having that local knowledge matters because every court has its own procedures, judges, and expectations. 

We use our experience to move cases through the system strategically and efficiently. Employment law cases come with strict deadlines, and some claims allow just 180 days to act. 

Missing a filing deadline, even by one day, can mean losing your chance at justice forever. That’s why we move quickly to draft complaints, gather critical evidence, and protect your rights from day one. 

Fast action isn’t just helpful. It’s essential when time is stacked against you. We stay on top of every deadline so you can stay focused on reclaiming your future.

Your Story Matters. And We’ll Make Them Hear It.

Your case isn’t about paperwork. It’s about your life.

We make your case powerful by:

• Showing solid proof - emails, texts, documents. We comb through records to find the details that tell the real story. Solid evidence builds your credibility and leaves little room for your employer to deny the facts.
• Building a timeline that makes sense and sticks. A clear, detailed timeline shows how each event connects to the next. It helps judges and juries see the pattern of misconduct without confusion or doubt.
• Putting real witnesses on the stand to back you up. Witnesses who saw what happened can bring life to your case. Their testimony can make the difference between a "he said, she said" situation and a winning argument.
