Fighting for employees across New York.
Four decades helping New Yorkers stand up to discrimination, harassment, wage theft, and wrongful termination. Real attention, real results.
Recognized by the institutions employees trust most.

Experience that
moves the needle.
For more than forty years, the attorneys at Risman & Risman, P.C. have negotiated and litigated complex employment cases for New Yorkers. We know how the city’s employers operate, how their lawyers think, and what it takes to win.
Most employment firms run on volume. We don’t. Every client gets the strategic preparation, attention, and care their case deserves — whether you’re facing discrimination, harassment, or unpaid wages.
We deliberately keep our caseload small. When you call Risman & Risman, you reach someone who knows your case — not a receptionist passing a message. That’s how a law firm should work, and it’s how we’ve worked for four decades.
