Whether you're a janitor, a teacher, a C-level executive, whether you trace your roots back to George Washington or you're a recent immigrant, whether you're devoutly religious, gay, lesbian or transgendered, young in age, or just young at heart - you deserve to be free of employment discrimination, sexual harassment, wrongful discharge, illegal firing and all other unfair labor practices.  Workers have rights on the job!  I am an employment law attorney who helps whistleblowers, employees who have been discriminated against, those who have experienced unjust retaliation and many other employees get the justice they deserve.  Unfortunately, some employers still discriminate against, harass, unlawfully terminate and subject employees to a hostile work environment based on disability, pregnancy, age, race, national original, religion, sexual orientation, exercising FMLA rights, failure to pay overtime and standing up for what is right.  Fortunately, federal and state laws protect people against violations of these civil rights.

Super attorney
Sarah was very sensitive to my case and understood the frustration that myself and my family were going through. She is a brilliant attorney with an understanding and concern for her clients. Sarah was always in reach and always answered any questions that I had , aways returned your phone calls and let you always know where you stood, as my case was a tough case but Sarah found her way to the truth. I strong recommened Sarah and My family and I thank her for my favorable outcome.

An amazing attorney
Sarah did a phenomenal job with my case. She was very professional and tenacious. Sarah always kept me informed on what events were occurring and the things I needed to do to ensure a successful outcome. She always returned my calls promptly and is very knowledgeable in her area of practice. Sarah fought hard for me and never wavered from my stance on the case. I would highly recommend her services.

A very amicable settlement negotiated by Sarah on my behalf.
Sarah Miel, Esq. brings years of experience as an attorney along with her highly recognized “can and will do” attitude to the arbitration table. Highly organized and articulate, she swiftly and efficiently guided my case from start to finish. What originally began for me as an overwhelming legal process, she clarified and simplified. The result, a very amicable settlement negotiated by Sarah on my behalf.
