Editorial Verdict

Why Choose Phillips & Associates?

If you've been sexually harassed at work, fired in retaliation for complaining, or systematically discriminated against — you need a firm that fights for employees, not the company. Phillips & Associates was founded in 2011 with that single focus: only employees, never employers. The firm has recovered more than $300 million for victims, has 11 attorneys recognized as Super Lawyers, and was named one of the "10 Best Employment & Labor Law Firms in New York" by the American Institute of Legal Counsel. Cases run on contingency — no fee unless they win — and consultations are free. If your story is real and the harm is real, this is one of the strongest names in the NYC employee-rights bar.

Client Experiences

What Clients Say

Jasmine W.

Sexual Harassment · Manhattan

★★★★★

"I was sexually harassed by my supervisor for over a year and HR did nothing. Phillips & Associates believed me from minute one and built an airtight case. Six-figure settlement and a sense of justice I never thought I'd get."

Robert J.

Wrongful Termination · Brooklyn

★★★★★

"Fired in retaliation after I reported safety violations. Greg Kirschenbaum explained everything in plain English, kept me updated, and fought hard. Settled within nine months — far more than I expected."

Sofia M.

Pregnancy Discrimination · Queens

★★★★★

"Demoted right after I announced my pregnancy. Phillips' team handled the whole case on contingency, never asked me for a dollar, and won. Cannot recommend them enough."

FAQ

Common Questions About This Firm

Do they only represent employees?

Yes. Phillips & Associates exclusively represents employees and job applicants — never employers. This is intentional: it eliminates conflicts of interest and lets the firm specialize completely in worker-side litigation.

How does the contingency fee work?

You pay nothing upfront and nothing out-of-pocket along the way. The firm advances all litigation costs. If they recover money for you (settlement or verdict), they take a percentage — typically 33% pre-litigation, up to 40% if the case goes to trial. If they don't win, you owe them nothing.

How long do I have to file a workplace harassment claim?

Deadlines vary by claim and jurisdiction. Federal Title VII claims must be filed with the EEOC within 300 days in NY (180 in some states). NY State Human Rights Law claims have a three-year window. NYC Human Rights Law also generally allows three years. Don't wait — talk to an attorney immediately.

Will my employer find out I called a lawyer?

No. The initial consultation is fully confidential and protected by attorney-client privilege. Nothing is filed or sent to your employer until you decide to move forward. Many clients consult while still employed to understand options.

What types of damages can I recover?

Depending on your claim: back pay, front pay, emotional distress damages, punitive damages, attorney's fees, and reinstatement. NYC Human Rights Law (especially since 2020 amendments) is one of the most plaintiff-friendly employment statutes in America.
