How do I protect myself from his continuous acts of mistreatment? I am growing very resentful.

You cannot be demoted or terminated because of discrimination based on age, race, national origin, disability, etc. If you are demoted or terminated I suggest that you contact an employment attorney. If you would like to contact me my contact information is in my profile. I hope the work environment gets better.

That said, there is case law that would help in your defense of such a lawsuit, suggesting that the lawsuit would be ill-fated for the Plaintiff employer. There...

I am looking to hire an employment lawyer to help me with an appeal. i am in ny

I suggest contacting a lawyer you feel is qualified to handle your case, and then retain that lawyer if you feel comfortable doing so, or contact another lawyer.
