About Filippatos PLLC

Preserving justice in the workplace since 1992 -- focus on employment discrimination, harassment, and retaliation based on race, gender, gender identity, sex, sexual orientation, sexual harassment, pregnancy, age, disability, leave status.

At Filippatos PLLC, we fight for fairness and justice in the workplace for you. Through strategic thinking and tactical expertise, we forcefully leverage our advocacy skills to win innovative and compassionate solutions that are both lucrative and restorative for our clients. While many of our competitors prescribe their brand as the only approach, we reject this "one-size-fits-all" philosophy, and instead strive to achieve a successful result that is most aligned with your unique needs. For example, some cases are best litigated in the court of public opinion, while others benefit most from private adjudication. Simply put, it depends on each client’s specific goals and circumstances. We believe the client's individuality and agency are of the utmost importance in determining the optimal solution for each case.

Mr. Filippatos has personally led litigations and negotiations that have resulted in the recovery of over $70 Million for his clients collectively. Having represented thousands of individuals in the workplace, and conducted over a thousand legal proceedings, including depositions, hearings, arbitrations, and trials, Mr. Filippatos views his role as an attorney to be part advocate, part educator, and part guardian of his clients’ rights in the workplace.

Keenly aware that the client's wishes should be paramount in the disposition of the case, Mr. Filippatos takes very seriously his professional responsibility to facilitate sound decision making on their behalf. Driven to make a beneficial difference in their lives, Mr. Filippatos is relentless in his pursuit of justice for his clients. While every case is different, Mr. Filippatos firmly believes that every client should be treated fundamentally the same—with fairness, dignity, and respect.

Filippatos PLLC is focused on employment law and litigation regarding discrimination, harassment, and retaliation based on race, racial harassment, gender, gender identity, sex, sexual orientation, sexual harassment, pregnancy, age, physical or mental disability, or protected leave status in the workplace.

Mr. Filippatos has dedicated his career to representing individuals against employers who violate civil rights laws to deprive individuals of equal opportunity and fair treatment. Mr. Filippatos zealously represents his clients by leveling the playing field in their favor. In his 30 years of service to the legal community, Mr. Filippatos has represented clients from myriad walks of life and backgrounds to resolve all manner of workplace disputes, whether it be alternative dispute resolution (ADR) through negotiation, mediation, or arbitration; or traditional adjudication through litigation, trial, or appeal.

At Filippatos PLLC we believe that all individuals—from executives in the boardroom to shift workers on the factory floor—are entitled to fair pay, a workplace free from discrimination, harassment, and retaliation, and the opportunity to advance their careers without prejudice, restrictions or limitations.

I am so thankful that I chose Gerry Filippatos for my case. He is extremely knowledgeable, a great listener and focused on my needs. He carefully explained all of my options in a way I could understand and I felt very supported. It was such a relief to know I was in good hands! I would highly recommend Mr. Filippatos to anyone who has been discriminated against at work. He will definitely get you what you deserve.

Gerry and Elan were both patient, empathetic and overall amazing. They were so knowledgeable and really focused on my experiences at work, and gave me clear insight of what would happen. They made sure to effectively tackle my requests and provided me with the confidence I didn’t have. My situation at work was a serious one, and they were able to rectify it and provide me justice in just a few months. They both fought hard to deliver the facts that I not only provided but that they researched on their own. Everything was noted to detail and they spoke about my situation as if they went through it themselves. They were both always respectful and responsive. I’m very happy that I was referred to them, because I don’t think I would have went forward for my justice without their help, and thanks to them I received my justice. Thank you again, Elan & Gerry!

I am incredibly happy with my results, and very pleased with my experience with the team at Filippatos. Gerry and Theodore Filiippatos took my case, and I felt very confident with them by my side. They walked me through the process, and always kept me informed. The day of our mediation, I took a backseat and they fought for me with confidence. I was incredibly impressed by the way they both were prepared to overcome any adversity. The mediation was a success on my favor. Falisha Perry is also an incredible part of the team. She is very friendly, professional, and supportive. They helped bring closure to a matter that has tremendously impacted my life. I would recommend them in a heartbeat.

I was pleased with the results and how my case was handled with professionalism from the start. Although I was nervous and had little knowledge of how to proceed, Gerry and Jane guided me through every step, explaining everything in detail. They promptly responded all my questions and I never felt as just another client. My case was resolved in less time than imagined and I attribute that to their legal knowledge, attention to detail and care for me as a person. I would highly recommend Filippatos to anyone that wants to feel in safe hands.

Gerry is an amazing lawyer. I would know, considering he was not my first. I picked a local lawyer not in NYC. A small town local law firm and even though and I had a right to sue letter from the EEOC for discrimination. They could not get anywhere with my former employer so I knew I needed to get a seasoned professional. Gerry not only got my family and I a just and successful settlement but did it with care for my well being. I considered him not only my lawyer but a my friend. He took such interest in my family and spent so much time listening to me during the worst time of my life. It was personal for him. Could not ask for a better man.

Parisis G. ("Gerry") Filippatos is fantastic! When faced with massively emotional issues due to the abhorrent and horrific conduct experienced from a former employer, Gerry listened calmly and was supportive. You immediately feel you are in safe hands. He explains everything to you in very clear terms. He sets out how he will be presenting the case and you are very much part of the process. He executes the agreed upon strategy with stealth and precision. Nothing phases Gerry. He gets results. He is simply the best in his field. Period.
