When I was “laid off” by my employer of 10 years I was devastated. I was told they were cutting back but they did not cut back the younger people that were just hired in the last year. They cut back me who was the only one over 55 in the department. I had a perfect record with no disciplinary action in my record. I hired a labor lawyer from Brooklyn Law Group. She was able to settle my case out of court and got me a year’s severance pay. I am so glad I took a stance and hired a lawyer.
