Jimmy M. Santos

I have been practicing law for close to twenty six years. I have represented numerous clients before state and federal courts in New York, and before administrative agencies, including the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the New York State Division of Human Rights, the New York City Commission on Human Rights and the U.S. and N.Y.S. Departments of Labor.

My practice areas include successful representation in labor and employment law and civil rights litigation, mediation, and arbitration including but not limited to cases involving: unlawful discrimination and harassment and retaliation in private and public employment, housing discrimination; advocating recipients of public and private healthcare services; discrimination in public accommodations; official and/or governmental misconduct, unlawful retaliation for one's exercise of his/her rights under the U.S. and NYS Constitutions; wage and hour claims; unfair competition law; and federal, state and private whistleblower litigation & counseling. I have also represented clients in several complex federal and NY state court cases, including but not limited to cases for defamation and breach of contract.

I represent and counsel small to medium-sized companies in labor and employment and civil rights cases; and have defended small to mid-size companies in matters involving state and federal government agency enforcement actions, such as cases, investigations and audits before the NYS and U.S. Departments of Labor.
