Hello, and welcome. I’m Mike Pospis, the owner of Pospis Law, PLLC.
I have dedicated my career to representing plaintiffs in Employment Discrimination, Sexual Harassment, and Personal Injury cases and – more importantly – to obtaining maximum compensation for victims of others’ wrongdoing.
I have represented clients in state court, federal court, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the New York City Commission on Human Rights, and the New York State Department of Labor.
I have also lectured on employment law issues on behalf of a well-known Continuing Legal Education (CLE) provider.
Throughout my career I have recovered millions of dollars for my clients.
In addition to being a lawyer, I am also a human being who enjoys (among other things) exploring New York City, traveling, SCUBA/wreck diving, reading, video gaming, hiking, biking, and writing.
