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 employee 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 a consultation cost?  Nothing.  Our attorneys will not charge you for an initial consultation 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. 
 
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.
 
 When you phone or email us we request that you clearly and slowly:

1. State your name;
2. Say your phone number twice to make sure we get it;
3. Let us know what times are best for us to call you back; and
4. Do not tell us about your reason for calling when you leave a message.

Someone will call you back as soon as possible.  While we try, calls are usually not returned immediately.  Most calls are returned between 9:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.  If requested, calls can be returned outside of our regular business hours.
