Employment Law

Employment Discrimination,
Harassment and Wrongful Termination Claims Attorney

For most people, what they do to earn a living means a lot more than just earning a living itself. Barrie L. Goldstein, LLC feels that way too.

At Barrie L. Goldstein, LLC, we represent individuals with employment law claims in western Connecticut and southeastern New York, including New York City. Attorney Barrie L. Goldstein is admitted to practice in the state and federal trial and appellate courts of both Connecticut and New York, including the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.

Drawing from nearly 20 years of government service and more than 30 years of litigation experience involving civil rights and constitutional law — Ms. Goldstein's employment claims practice includes cases that involve:

  • Age discrimination
  • Disability discrimination
  • Gender-based discrimination
  • Sexual harassment
  • Denial of tenure
  • Hostile work environments
  • Wrongful terminations
  • Retaliatory firings

Throughout her 35-year career, Barrie L. Goldstein has been passionate about cases involving the types of civil rights and constitutional law issues that are often raised in these and other employment law disputes.

More importantly — as a woman who became a lawyer at a time when women lawyers were few and far between — she understands what it is like to be harassed and discriminated against in the workplace.

She has also been active in positions that have included membership on the Second Circuit's Committee on Race and Gender Bias, and serving as Chairperson of a Federal Bar Council committee on implementation of the Second Circuit Committee's Report on Race and Gender Bias.
