WE SPEND TOO MUCH OF OUR LIVES AT WORK TO LET WORK RUIN OUR LIVES.

Better Workplaces Are Better for Everyone

The best workplaces are places where working humans can flourish. Everyone agrees on this in principle; why does it fall apart in practice? Sometimes the answer is bias: assumptions that lead us to give some people the benefit of the doubt and some the very opposite. At Marcuse Law LLC we help you expose unlawful discrimination and hold the responsible parties accountable.

Thoughtful and Compassionate Counselors, Nimble and Relentless Advocates

We always hope employers recognize their mistakes and choose the path of amicable resolution. But when this doesn’t happen, we can help. Through negotiation when possible and litigation when necessary, we are your counselors and advocates at every step along the way.

Our Values

Candor

When the road ahead is tough, we won’t hesitate to tell you the bad news along with the good. We ask the same from you. Honesty and transparency on both sides are key to effective legal representation.

Collaboration

As counselors we help you understand whether and how the law applies to your situation. As advocates, we tell your story in a way that is both true to your experience and carefully crafted to address what the law requires.

Creativity

The law changes constantly as courts interpret it over time. Together, we can push the law closer toward justice, helping defendants, judges, and juries understand what you are owed under the law, and why.

TOGETHER, WE CAN MAKE LAW BETTER.

Testimonials

“Deborah’s confidence that my firm’s actions were not only wrong, but discriminatory, helped me recover my lost sense of self. She was a fierce advocate and allowed me to see that so much of what I endured was wrong. Her support, her immediate understanding of the facts, and her masterful handling of the case left me in awe. I cannot imagine better representation.”

“After suffering years of gender discrimination, enduring a hostile work environment and arguing for equal pay, my law firm attempted to turn the tables on me, even filing suit against me to silence me, when they realized that I was pursuing legal action against them. I was devastated after decades of excellent performance and loyalty to the firm, and oh so very vulnerable and feeling all alone. Words will never fully capture how grateful I am to Deborah Marcuse, who saw the injustice and unfairness and recognized the extreme impact it was having on me and my young family, for taking on my complicated case at a time when I know that she was beyond busy and for turning the tables back on the bad actors. . . . Deborah, you have no idea how much you did for me – not only did you achieve a great result, you helped me at a time when I needed it most, and there wasn’t a single moment that you didn’t fully understand exactly how I was feeling. You helped me get my life back, and I will never forget that.”

“Deborah Marcuse can be compared to a first rate physician: the client is treated not just for the ailment, but the attention and service encompasses the entire body. No issue is too mundane for Deborah and she is available 24/7 no matter the issue.”

“Deborah Marcuse is a subtle negotiator with excellent judgment and a wide knowledge of the courts, the experts, and the law.”
