ABOUT US
The lawyers at Tuckner, Sipser are veteran trial attorneys who subscribe fully to the
law school credo of founding partner Jack Tuckner’s alma mater:
“Law in the Service of Human Needs.”
We are civil rights lawyers who champion the rights of women against the
discriminatory practices of employers ranging from the dwindling tiny independent
company to the massively large corporate behemoth, where the majority of working
women toil today, given the expansion of our government and work force into a
veritable Corporatocracy. Fewer corporations than ever before now control more of
us and the goods, services and information we rely upon (6 large corporations have
taken over virtually all 6000 television stations in this country and almost all 15,000
radio stations and 80% of the newspapers. Their only obligation is to their
shareholders, not us).
We speak truth to power at Tuckner, Sipser, in addition to speaking publicly on
issues of workplace gender equality and discrimination against women (see Public
Speaking). Tuckner, Sipser is dedicated to assisting and empowering working
women with the struggles of true gender-blind equality in the terms and conditions
of work that is only related to the value each individual woman adds to her work
environment.
The lawyers and staff at Tuckner, Sipser are involved with an eclectic array of
organizations that support Women's Rights; National Employment Lawyer’s
Association, the New York State Trial Lawyer’s Association, the New York Women’s
Bar Association, the International Alliance of Holistic Lawyers, Feminist.com, and
9to5, National Association of Working Women.
In addition to advocating for equal treatment for women facing workplace
challenges and discrimination as result of gender, Tuckner, Sipser represents those
experiencing disparate treatment due to their sexual orientation or alternative
affectional preferences.
In support of our primary mission--to advance the many causes and needs of
working women--Tuckner, Sipser is respectful of your time and money. When you
call Tuckner, Sipser, you will be greeted by a member of our friendly and professional
team of interns and paralegals, who in addition to providing you with basic
information about what to expect from a consultation with our law firm, will provide
you with a free, confidential telephone intake regarding your workplace challenges,
which will help us swiftly determine whether your situation is a matter that warrants
formal legal recourse.
If you believe that the terms, conditions, privileges, benefits and/or pay of your
employment are being degraded as a result of your sex or if you're working in a
"hostile work environment" on the basis of some "protected activity," please give us a
call or send us an email.
