Now, applicants and current employees with a criminal …

New York and LA Big Law Firms Sell Out By Representing Russian Banks: Shame On Them

New York and LA Big Law Firms Sell Out By Representing Russian Banks: Shame On Them

Joe Carbonaro | March 8, 2022 | From the desk of Joe Carbonaro, Legal Articles |

From the Desk of Joe Carbonaro Some big Law firms in New York and LA have sold out again, this time agreeing to represent Russian interests in this time of global crises.  In my opinion,  this is reprehensible.  I represent people and companies that have legal problems.  Many are well-founded, many are not.  I do it because I believe in the system of justice we have established here for 250 years. I also do it for a living, because, like everyone else, I have to …

Did I Lose My Job Because Of My Age?

Joe Carbonaro | October 8, 2016 | Age Discrimination, Blog, Employment Law | Age discrimination, EEOC, employment law, fired at 40, layoffs after 50, what is ageism

"Respect your elders". This is a common phrase many of us heard from our parents or grandparents. In today's culture, we do anything but.

We live in an ageism culture where stereotyping and discriminating against individuals or groups on the basis of their age runs rampant. The workplace is now another channel …
