Powerful Representation that Brings Big Results

Leeds Morelli & Brown, P.C.- Representing Plaintiff against the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority

When residents of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Nassau and Suffolk Counties are victims of employment discrimination, Leeds Morelli & Brown P.C. is there to fight for the compensation that they deserve.  The latest in a long string of positive results that Leeds Morelli and Brown P.C. lawyers have secured for their clients came on July 28, 2008. A federal jury in Manhattan found in favor of Leeds Morelli and Brown client Gregory Fishman in an amount approaching one million dollars.

Gregory Fishman was the victim of religious discrimination and retaliation at the hands of his employer, the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority, and his supervisor Peter Senesi.   Mr. Fishman stood up for himself after he was denied a promotion because of his faith. Rather than attempting to correct this wrong, his employers forced his resignation.  Mr. Fishman turned to Leeds Morelli & Brown P.C. for help and Leeds Morelli and Brown P.C. attorneys Thomas Ricotta and Matthew Porges took up the fight.

Through their diligence and experience, the Leeds Morelli and Brown P.C. team brought the misdeeds of the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority and Peter Senesi to light and made them pay for their discriminatory behavior.  The jury found that Mr. Fishman had indeed been discriminated against on the basis of his faith and retaliated against based on his complaints of discrimination, in violation of state, federal, and city anti-discrimination laws.
