Disability Discrimination

White Plains, New York, ADA Discrimination Lawyer

No covered entity shall discriminate against a qualified individual with a disability because of the disability of such individual in regard to job application procedures, the hiring, advancement, or discharge of employees, employee compensation, job training, and other terms, conditions, and privileges of employment.*

AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT OF 1990

In 1990, the United States Congress passed the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to protect people with disabilities from discrimination and harassment in the American workplace. Since then, businesses and workers with disabilities have struggled with understanding the law and how the provisions of the act apply to their circumstances.

Employee rights under the ADA

Since 1995, the law firm of Sapir & Frumkin LLP, has been helping employees understand how the ADA affects their lives. Partner attorneys Donald Sapir and William Frumkin offer our clients more than forty combined years of employment law experience, and have been representing workers with disabilities involved in ADA disputes for more than thirty combined years. We believe that the ADA is a good law, passed by Congress to ensure that people are hired for their abilities, rather than discriminated against because of their disabilities. The law protects millions of productive Americans and their families.

Employer's have rights, too

We do not believe that the ADA was designed to become an expensive burden on the employer. We advise and represent employers who become involved in ADA discrimination claims. Disputes often result from misunderstanding provisions of the law or how to meet the requirement for reasonable accommodation. Most of our business clients agree that, at its heart, the ADA is good law. But, like any law, some provisions are open to interpretations that often lead to disputes. We offer ongoing legal counsel to help employers avoid possible ADA disputes, as well as experienced representation and litigation skills when disputes arise.

Because we advise and represent either the employee or the employer in ADA legal matters, we provide a special insight into resolving issues fairly and efficiently. Whether you are an employee with a disability, who is concerned about discrimination on the job, or an employer who has become involved in an ADA issue, our experience is your best asset.
