OF DISCRIMINATION AND HARASSMENT
New Jersey Employment Lawyers
Discrimination is repugnant, immoral and illegal. It can ruin lives, destroy families and harm our communities. New Jersey law protects employees from suffering discrimination and harassment at the workplace by providing for significant penalties to employers who ignore their legal obligations to prevent from occurring and remediating when it happens. Our firm fights for New Jersey employees’ right to a discrimination free workplace by holding employers responsible for the harm caused when they do not fulfill their obligations in stopping workplace discrimination.
New Jersey employment law prohibits many different forms of discriminatory business practices or acts such as sexual harassment, failure to reasonably accommodate, unlawful retaliation and hostile work environments. Discrimination threatens the foundation of a free democratic society. Employers who allow discrimination to take place cause aggrieved employees to suffer devastating personal hardships, irreparable emotional trauma, and unplanned instability to the family unit. In furtherance of New Jersey’s strong public policy to eradicate the cancer of discrimination, our laws provide for strict penalties to employers who do not play by the rules and allow employees to suffer from acts of discrimination, harassment and retaliation. Discrimination is unacceptable in all forms and must be fought against vigorously. We work with our clients to hold employers responsible for discrimination in the workplace.
Our New Jersey Education lawyers also represent students in cases involving discrimination and reasonable accommodations. Discrimination also occurs in our schools and can have a significant negative impact on the ability of students to transition from high school to college and the workforce. Federal and state education laws protect students, especially students with disabilities, from unlawful discipline and harassment, intimidation and bullying. They also ensure students with disabilities receive equal access to their education through reasonable accommodations to the school environment, and make meaningful progress toward their educational goals through special education and related services.
If you are the victim of discrimination, harassment or have been unlawfully terminated from your employment, our New Jersey employment lawyers are here to assist you in standing up for your right to a workplace free of discrimination.

Our Practices Areas
The Smith Eibeler law firm practices on the areas of employment law, civil litigation, unemployment appeals, sales commission law and personal injury.
Employment Law
New Jersey provides some of the strongest legal protections of any state in the country. Our state rightfully recognizes that workplace discrimination is a menace to all of society and the only way to eradicate the cancer of discrimination is to hold employers responsible for the harm they cause when they fail to follow the law and allow discrimination to exist within the workplace. Our New Jersey employment attorneys represent employees in all areas of employment law, including unlawful termination, sexual harassment, pregnancy discrimination, disability discrimination, civil rights, medical leave rights, hostile work environment, whistle-blower retaliation, wage and hour violations, wage theft and unpaid commission. We also provide employment law related consultation services, including representing clients in unemployment appeals, contract review, severance agreements, non-compete/non-solicitation agreements and employee complaint investigations.
Litigation Services
In addition to our employment law practice, we also provide legal services in many areas of civil litigation. We are committed to keeping society safe by holding those persons or companies responsible for the harm caused when laws are violated. We regularly represent people who require assistance with personal injury, shareholder disputes, breach of contract, estate litigation, fraudulent business practices, restrictive covenants, non-compete and non-solicitation agreements.
Unemployment Lawyers
Our New Jersey employment attorneys represent employees in obtaining unemployment benefits they are entitled to when they lose their job through no fault of their own. Unfortunately, there are many employers who challenge an employee’s right to unemployment benefits in situations where the employee is entitled to them. We represent persons in all stages of their claim for unemployment benefits, including during the initial determination, appeals to the Appeal Tribunal or Board of Review and appeals to the New Jersey Appellate Division or New Jersey Supreme Court. Our representation includes working with the client in presenting the facts concerning their separation of employment and advocating for their rights during the unemployment proceeding. If you believe you have been wrongly denied your claim for benefits, our New Jersey unemployment lawyers are here to assist you.
Independent Sales Representatives Law
We represent independent sales representatives and companies in claims of unpaid commissions, drafting sales commission agreements and other business law related services. Independent sales representatives deserve to be timely paid their earned commissions in the same manner an employee deserves to be timely paid their earned wages. New Jersey law recognizes that independent sales representatives should not be stiffed their hard-earned commissions by providing for costly penalties against companies who do not timely pay their independent sales representatives their hard-earned commissions. If you believe you are owed earned commissions, our New Jersey sales commission lawyers are here to assist you in recovering your hard-earned money.
Personal Injury Lawyers
We represent people who have suffered serious injuries due to the negligent conduct of others. Because our New Jersey personal injury lawyers understand that our clients and their family members are going through confusing and stressful times, we focus on openly communicating all the options during the litigation process. Our New Jersey personal injury lawyers represent clients in a wide range of cases such as workplace injuries, construction accidents, dog bites, slip and fall and wrongful death. If you or a family member has been injured by the negligent, needless or careless acts of another, our New Jersey personal injury lawyers can help hold those responsible for the harm they caused.
