PRACTICE
AREAS
SEXUAL HARASSMENT
​
Sexual harassment is a form of sex-based discrimination. It can take many forms including unwanted sexual advances, creating a hostile work environment, or conditioning one's job to submitting to sexual advances.
RETALIATION
​
It is unlawful for an employer to retaliate against an employee for making a complaint of discrimination. Retaliation can take many forms including reduced pay, a change in schedule, and outright firing.
DISABILITY
DISCRIMINATION
​
Laws prohibit discrimination against qualified individuals and requires employers to make reasonable accommodations if doing so would allow the employee to perform his or her job.
UNPAID WAGES AND OVERTIME
​
You are entitled to be paid for the hours that you work. This includes the minimum wage worker as well as the high-paid executive. You may also be entitled to overtime, even if you are a salaried employee.
RACE, RELIGION, GENDER, AND SEXUAL ORIENTATION
DISCRIMINATION
​
Both Federal and State Law prevent treating someone differently in the workplace based upon their race, national origin, religion, gender, and sexual orientation.
SMALL BUSINESS COMPLIANCE AND TRAINING
​
Advises businesses on best practices and changes to federal, state, and local employment laws, conducts legally-mandated trainings, updates employment manuals, and reviews employment agreements.
MY APPROACH
I believe every individual deserves equal access to the legal system and quality professional representation. When a client approaches me with their workplace experience I take the time to throughly evaluate the situation to determine if any workplace rights have been violated. I believe that an informed client is a stronger client, therefore I will take the time to ensure you are comfortable with the decision-making process as your legal matter progresses.

Tel: 718.858.0917
The Law Office of Casey J. Wolnowski is dedicated to representing clients whose civil rights have been violated, as well as helping those recover the earned wages to which they are entitled. The law protects many forms of discrimination in the workplace, including discrimination based on: race, gender, national origin, age, disability, sexual orientation, pregnancy, and religion. There are protections in place under federal, state, and local law.
​
Casey began his legal career working at the United Nations focusing on international human rights (and namely, international rights of children). He thereafter served as senior principal law clerk for an appeals judge in Brooklyn for over four years, and worked for a federal judge in a New York federal district court in 2013. Before starting his own practice, Casey worked at a mid-sized employment law firm in New York City.
Casey possesses valuable insight into multiple areas of the legal system which enables him to resolve matters in ways that are effective and efficient. He has worked for both state and federal judges and understands how judges review proof and evaluate legal disputes. Casey knows that no two cases are identical and where one client may be best served by early settlement, another may be best served by taking the case all the way to trial.
​
Casey is a graduate of St. Thomas University School of Law (Miami, FL - 2008), and The College of Wooster (Wooster, OH - 2004). He is a member of the National Employment Lawyers Association (as well as its New York chapter) and the New York City Bar Association's LGBTQ Committee.
