Discrimination law deals with the civil rights of an individual when they are denied or interfered with.
In concurrence with civil rights laws, no one may be discriminated against based on race, sex, religion, age, previous condition of servitude, physical limitation, national origin and in some instances sexual preference.
If discrimination is based in these categories, the law protects the civil rights of the individual.
If you believe that you have been discriminated against speak to a knowledgeable NY Civil Rights attorney.
