The Hamptons hospitality, landscaping, domestic service, and construction industries have a serious discrimination problem. Race, national origin, and language-based harassment is rampant. Your rights are identical to any worker in New York City — and we enforce them.

The Hamptons economy runs on immigrant labor — landscaping, domestic service, hospitality, construction, and agriculture. Employers frequently exploit workers with racial slurs, wage theft, hostile work environments, and threats about immigration status. Every one of these workers has the same legal rights as any employee in New York City.
We handle cases across every Hamptons and East End community. You never need to travel to our NYC office.
Many Hamptons workers fear speaking up about discrimination because of their immigration status. But New York laws protect every worker — documented or not. Your employer cannot use your status against you.
The Hamptons economy depends on a workforce that is predominantly immigrant, Spanish-speaking, and largely unaware of its legal rights. Employers exploit this by paying below-legal wages, assigning minority workers to the worst conditions, tolerating racial harassment, and retaliating against anyone who complains.
Under the New York City Human Rights Law, the New York State Human Rights Law, and federal law, this conduct is illegal — and the penalties are substantial, including uncapped damages under NYC law.
If you have experienced discrimination or harassment at work in the Hamptons, call us now. The consultation is confidential and free, and we will never contact your employer without your permission.
Call Now — Free ConsultationYes. New York's anti-discrimination protections cover seasonal, part-time, and temporary workers exactly the same as year-round staff. Whether you work at a restaurant, hotel, estate, or shop, if you were treated worse because of who you are, you have the same rights as anyone else — and the same deadlines apply, so call before the season ends and people scatter.
No. New York law protects every worker regardless of immigration status, and using your status to silence a discrimination complaint is itself a serious violation on top of the original one. You do not have to choose between your rights and your job. Talk to us confidentially first — we never contact your employer without your say-so.
Yes. Everything you tell us is confidential, and we understand how tight-knit the East End work world is. We move carefully and never announce a claim to an employer or the wider community without discussing the strategy with you first. Retaliation for raising a discrimination complaint is also illegal, which gives you added protection.
There is a firm federal deadline — generally 300 days from when the discrimination happened — and some claims have shorter windows. Because seasonal work ends and witnesses leave the area, waiting can cost you evidence as well as time. Call today and we'll tell you exactly where you stand.
Free consultation. We never contact your employer. The EEOC deadline is strict — act now.
