You didn’t imagine it. You’re not overreacting. And you’re definitely not the only one.
We’ve seen behind the corporate curtain — and we know how employers try to make people like you disappear. We make sure you don’t.
I built this firm because I knew firsthand what sexual harassment and discrimination in the workplace feels like.
At various points in my career, I’ve been made to feel uncomfortable, unsafe, and unimportant.
I don’t represent companies. Ever. I don’t play nice with HR departments that protected your harasser. And I don’t let them silence you with intimidation tactics.
I’ll believe you. I’ll fight for you. And, together, we will get your power back.
You don’t have to stay quiet, stuck, or scared. Whether you’re still at your job or already forced out, there’s a clear path to reclaim your power — and make them pay for what they did. Here’s how it works.
You might. If you’ve been treated unfairly at work because of your gender, race, age, sexual orientation, disability, or another protected characteristic, or if you’ve been subjected to unwanted sexual conduct, you may have a claim under New York State and federal law. Megan Thomas Law can help assess whether the behavior you experienced qualifies as illegal harassment or discrimination.
Yes. While reporting harassment or discrimination to HR can strengthen your case, it is not required in every situation. In New York, employees have protections even if they never made an internal complaint, especially if reporting might have felt unsafe or futile. We can help you explore your legal options regardless of whether you’ve filed an HR report.
Yes. If you were fired, demoted, or retaliated against for reporting discrimination or harassment, you may have a strong retaliation claim. Both state and federal laws prohibit employers from punishing workers for asserting their rights.
Compensation can include lost wages, emotional distress damages, reinstatement (in some cases), and coverage of legal fees. In egregious cases, punitive damages may also be awarded to punish the employer. The specific outcome depends on the facts of your case.
No. Your conversations with an attorney are confidential. Unless you choose to file a claim or take legal action, your employer won’t be notified. Consulting with a lawyer is a private step and doesn’t obligate you to proceed further.
Proof can come in many forms: emails, text messages, performance reviews, witness statements, patterns of behavior, or even a timeline of events. You don’t need a “smoking gun” — your credibility, consistency, and the overall context of the situation can support your claim.
Your word still matters. Many harassment cases come down to credibility and consistency. If your account is detailed and supported by indirect evidence (like behavior changes or patterns), a claim may still succeed. An attorney can help strengthen your case and identify any supporting evidence.
No. You don’t need to quit to file a claim. In fact, it may be better to speak with a lawyer before making any decisions about leaving your job. If you quit without legal guidance, it could affect your ability to recover certain damages.
In New York, the deadline depends on the type of claim. You may have as little as one year to file with a state agency, or three years to bring a civil lawsuit. However, deadlines can vary. Speak to an attorney as soon as possible to preserve your rights.
We offer free initial consultations so you can understand your rights and options before making any decisions. If you choose to move forward, we’ll clearly explain our fee structure up front — no hidden costs or surprises. Every case is different, and we’re committed to working with clients to find the best path forward.
You’ve dealt with enough.
The harassment, the excuses, the retaliation — it all ends now.
Start your claim. Get what you’re owed.
