Retaliation, Harassment, and Discrimination

Clear Guidance for Retaliation, Harassment, and Discrimination Claims in Northern New Jersey, Nashville, and Surrounding Communities

No one should lose their job, their income, or their sense of safety for calling out misconduct. 

When employees report harassment, resist unwanted advances, or refuse to participate in behavior that crosses professional or legal lines, retaliation often follows. Promotions disappear, workloads change, or termination arrives without warning. These are not just workplace conflicts; they are violations of law that carry lasting personal and professional consequences.

At Bodzy Law, we represent employees who have faced discrimination, harassment, or retaliation tied to race, gender, age, disability, pregnancy, religion, national origin, or other protected characteristics. 

We review what happened, how your employer responded, and where the facts point to unlawful conduct. With more than two decades of employment litigation experience, we provide the clarity and structure needed to move through an emotionally charged situation and hold your employer accountable..

Retaliation

When you speak out about discriminatory or unlawful treatment, or participate in an investigation, and then your employer makes up excuses to terminate you, we respond and maximize your recovery.

Harassment

Harassment becomes unlawful when it targets a protected characteristic and creates a hostile environment that affects your ability to do your job. Often this takes the form of sexually inappropriate touching, comments or racial epithets.  It can also include persistent behavior based on a protected class  that crosses the line. We examine the conduct, how it was addressed, and whether the company met its responsibilities once concerns were raised.

Discrimination

If you were terminated because of your race, gender, age, disability, religion, national origin, pregnancy, or another protected characteristic, the law may have been violated. We compare the employer’s stated reasoning with the actual circumstances to determine whether legal protections were ignored.

Why Skilled, Experienced Employment Law Representation Matters

Employment disputes can become unclear quickly. Without informed guidance:

• Employers may rely on shifting explanations
• Internal records may be incomplete or selective
• Treatment may be framed as performance-related without supporting documentation
• Workers may not know which facts matter legally
• Signs of retaliation, harassment, or discrimination may be overlooked

A strategic review ensures the case stays focused on what the law requires rather than how the employer chooses to explain its decisions.

Understanding How Employers Respond

In many cases, companies act quickly once a complaint is made — not to correct the problem, but to protect themselves. They may launch an internal investigation focused on limiting liability rather than finding the truth. Records may be rewritten, communication channels restricted, or employees pressured to change their accounts. These tactics are familiar in retaliation and discrimination cases.

At Bodzy Law, we know how employers build their defenses and how to uncover what’s behind them. Our experience on both the corporate and litigation sides allows us to identify inconsistencies, locate evidence that matters, and challenge explanations that do not hold up under scrutiny. The goal is simple: to make sure the facts, not the company’s version of events, determine the outcome.
