Legal Help for Employment or Personal Injury Issues

You should contact our New York City office to get advice on what your rights are before the adverse action takes place if possible. Remember also that in New York, it is perfectly lawful to record a telephone conversation if one party to the conversation consents. This means that if you consent to the recording (which you obviously do if you’re doing it), it is legal even though the other party to the conversation doesn’t know it’s being recorded. Caution, though, if the other party to the phone call is outside New York State, this might not always be true. It is also often possible, and advisable, to utilize e-mail or other written communications with your employer to make a clear written record of what is actually going on, which will be quite different from the version your employer will present once a claim is made. However, you should always consult with us before you begin writing anything to your employer in one of these difficult situations. Remember, your employer has already probably already consulted with experienced employment lawyers on the management side – you should level the playing field by consulting with the Law Offices of William Cafaro before you start putting your positions down in writing.
