NOTE ABOUT BULLYING 

If you suspect that you or your child has been subjected to harassment, intimidation and/or bullying, you are not alone.  There have been numerous cases in New Jersey and across the country, of students who are subject to humiliation, intimidation, bullying and/or harm, based on the unlawful conduct of others. This can happen in the workplace as well.   In cases where someone is targeted because they fall within a protected class, including but not limited to, perceived or actual race, sexual orientation, disability, gender, religion, age, national origin, there are laws that may protect you.  In New Jersey, the Law Against Discrimination requires that schools and workplaces provide protections and maintain policies against intimidation, discrimination, harassment and bullying.    Employers and school officials must take prompt and effective measures to not only stop the harassment and bullying, but to prevent it from occurring in the workplace.  If you believe that you or your child has been a victim of intimidation, bullying, discrimination, and/or bullying, please call our office for a free consultation.  We know that every child and parent deserves to be free from such behavior.  Call us today at  201-488-2600!
