Hello, and welcome. I’m Mike Pospis, the owner of Pospis Law, PLLC.
I have dedicated my career to representing individuals and workers in Employment Discrimination, Sexual Harassment, and Personal Injury matters, and to securing compensation for victims of others’ wrongdoing.
I have represented clients in state and federal courts and administrative agencies (such as the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission/EEOC and the New York City Commission on Human Rights), among other venues.
I also teach Continuing Legal Education (CLE) classes to other attorneys in the areas of employment discrimination, sexual harassment, and law practice management.
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, board gaming, and writing.
