The Chatarpaul Law Firm focuses its practice primarily on Employment Discrimination, Wrongful Termination, Sexual Harassment, Pregnancy Discrimination, Retaliation, Whistleblower Lawsuits, Civil Rights Violations, and violation of an individual’s constitutional rights, such as the right to Free Speech under the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, the right to equal treatment and due process of law under the Fourteenth Amendment and other constitutional protections.
The Greek philosopher, Aristotle, once said that “The only stable state is the one in which all [persons] are equal before the law.” The right to be treated equally is not just a “privilege” for a selected few. It is not a right granted by any law. It is a fundamental human right, an inherent right. All persons are born with the natural right to be treated fairly and equally and to speak freely regardless of race, color, creed, sex, religion, political opinion, or any other status. In practice, however, discrimination and unequal treatment are rampant. At Chatarpaul Law, we work relentlessly for the individual and seek to bring justice against any violation of that individual’s human rights, whether its employment discrimination or civil rights

Excellent attorney
Jay Chatarpaul has provided me with consultation and legal services for several years. I have found him to be hard working and dedicated in my cases. He has always been truthful and informs me of pertinent laws regarding my cases prior to moving forward which allows me to make informed decisions....

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2003.
Reprimanded issued in NJ, 2003
updated on 11/04/2015This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
“This reciprocal discipline was the result of a case in New York in 1997 (18 years ago), when I first started practicing law. We were successful in dismissing the client's criminal case. The client then cancelled his credit card payment because he said he overpaid us, as the case was dismissed after only two court appearances. Regrettably, several unprofessional letters were sent out from my office. I took responsibility for the conduct of my employee and have moved on from mistake”
Suspension issued in NY, 2000
updated on 06/26/2017Suspended means an attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.
