Hello lawyers.. I was discriminated from a job after a job offer was made based on my criminal convictions which have nothing to do with the tasks of the job. How can I find the best employment discrimination lawyers in NYC?

Most of us are not attorneys and this is not a referral site.
You can file a complaint with the Division of Human Rights

I thought this was a forum for lawyers.

Division of human rights is not as good as hiring a real employment discrimination lawyer who highly specializes in job discrimination cases.

Cab you or anyone here recommend good employment discrimination attorneys for NYC? Its really tough finding a good one with a high success rate.

I suggest you review the Disclaimer and "Important Notice" at the bottom of the page. Also give some thought to the fact that virtually everyone who posts here (and at other, similar legal message boards) does so anonymously, so you have no way of knowing anyone's qualifications.

Do a google search for something like "new york city employment attorney" and/or reach out to bar associations in NYC or the borough in which you sought employment.

I'm sorry, but this is not a referral site - nobody is going to give you a referral to a specific attorney. You can try https://www.freeadvice.com/ or your state's Bar.

I'm curious - what was the job you applied for and what were you convicted of?

... or know whether there is a legal action worth pursuing. There could be.

Facts not yet disclosed to us here could give us a better idea but seeking out an attorney in NYC for a personal review is best.
