NELARS Main

National Employment Lawyers Association Referral Service (NELARS): The NELA/NY referral service was established as a public service to provide individuals with a need with the ability to find knowledgeable lawyers in specific areas of employment law.  NELARS is the only lawyer referral service in the state dedicated exclusively to helping people find attorneys who are experienced in workers' rights.
  • Are you having a problem at work? 
  • Do you think you are not being treated fairly at work? 
  • Do you have questions about your rights as an employee? 
  • Do you want to Know Your Rights in the workplace?
NELARS attorneys can assist with many workplace issues, including:
  • Discrimination, harassment and retaliation
  • Disability discrimination (including AIDS and HIV) and failure to reasonably accommodate
  • Employment contracts and restrictive covenants
  • Wage and hour issues, such as minimum wage and overtime
  • Employment compensation (bonuses, commissions)
  • Family Medical Leave Act and sick leave
  • Government employment
  • Collective bargaining agreements
  • Duty of fair representation
  • Employee benefits
  • Employment in academia
  • Professional discipline and licensure
  • Regulated investment professionals
  • Workers compensation
  • Defamation and other torts
  • Whistleblowers: Dodd-Frank, SOX 
We can help you find a lawyer who will listen to you, give you advice, and, if needed, who will represent you as your legal advocate/lawyer.

How much does an initial conversation cost?  Nothing.  Our attorneys will not charge you for an initial conversation of up to 15 minutes. Not every issue brought to NELARS is necessarily actionable. Please be aware that a further, more thorough consultation may be needed to help you evaluate your situation with respect to your rights under the law, and to understand whether you have a case or not. You should know that the vast majority of our attorneys charge clients for further consultations, although most offer deeply discounted rates to NELARS clients.
 
Speak with a lawyer before you do something that may get you in trouble.  Though your experience at work may be trying, frustrating or even frightening, speaking with a trained lawyer may help you achieve a resolution you never thought possible.
 
 THE BEST WAY TO REACH US IS TO FILL OUT THE INTAKE FORM, ABOVE.  If you decide to phone or email us, we require the following information:
  1. Your full name;
  2. Your best phone number;
  3. What type of employment law case you believe you have (see list above, with bullet points);
  4. You do NOT need to go into detail regarding your reason for calling in your initial communication. 
Someone will contact you as soon as possible.  If you receive an email referral to attorneys, it is your responsibility to call the attorneys we send to you - do not wait for them to call you.
