Hostile work environment lawyer Buffalo NY — Gomez Law

Hostile Work Environment Attorney in Buffalo, NY

A hostile work environment is more than just a difficult boss or a stressful job. Under New York State Human Rights Law and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, a hostile work environment is created when unwelcome conduct based on a protected characteristic — such as race, gender, age, religion, or sexual orientation — is so severe or pervasive that it alters the conditions of employment.

Employers in Buffalo and throughout Western New York have a legal duty to prevent and correct hostile work environments. When they fail to act, they can be held liable. Gomez Law has represented employees facing abusive workplaces for over two decades — we know how to document these cases and hold employers accountable.
