Illegal harassment or discrimination based on your race, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, disability and other factors is still a pervasive problem in New Jersey employment despite the presence of a strong law, the NJ Law Against Discrimination. Sometimes, this harassment can be so bad it forces one to leave their job.

If your workplace becomes hostile, intimidating or abusive as a result of this type of harassment, the NJLAD allows for compensatory damages, punitive damages in certain cases and collection of attorney's fees for successful litigants.
