Affirmative Action

New Jersey Affirmative Action Attorney

As a society, we have prohibited discrimination in the workplace based on race, age, national origin, gender, disability and other conditions. Many employers have gone further — adopting affirmative action plans to remedy the effects of past discrimination and to ensure a diverse workforce.

But what happens to those employees who are not beneficiaries of affirmative action plans? Or who are denied promotion and career development opportunities in order to provide advancement for individuals belonging to a protected class? Under federal Title VII, the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (LAD) and other civil rights laws, victims of reverse discrimination have rights. They also have the ability to obtain justice and compensation for the wrongs done to them.

Hanan M. Isaacs, P.C. is an experienced employment law firm. We represent victims of reverse discrimination and poorly designed or executed affirmative action programs. Call us toll free at 866.959.3786 to schedule a consultation.

Hanan M. Isaacs, P.C. has successfully represented victims of reverse discrimination in a number of significant cases, including John Doe v. American Water Company and Ryan v. FAA, D. N.J .

Two Types of Reverse Discrimination

There are generally two types of reverse discrimination:

• An individual manager may take specific actions that favor a certain class to the detriment of another class of employee.
• An employer may develop a flawed affirmative action program, or apply it in an inconsistent manner.

Proving either type of reverse discrimination is not easy. An employer's good intentions, however, are not enough to defeat a reverse discrimination lawsuit.

At Hanan M. Isaacs, P.C., we understand the law as it applies in these circumstances. In representing you, we will conduct a comprehensive review of the facts of your case. We will document specific behaviors of managers and analyze the soundness and legality of the affirmative action plan. Using the law, we will work to develop a strong and persuasive case for you.

Compensation and Justice for Victims of Reverse Discrimination

Victims of reverse discrimination may be able to obtain compensation for back pay, lost future earnings, benefits, emotional suffering, attorney's fees and punitive damages.

Our goal in your case will be to obtain the compensation, benefits and justice that have been denied you.

If you believe that you have been the victim of reverse discrimination in the workplace, please contact us at our Princeton office to arrange a consultation with a lawyer.
