Why Choose Stowell & Friedman?
If you've been fired, harassed, or shut out at work because of who you are — your gender, race, age, religion, or because you complained about something illegal — Stowell & Friedman is one of the strongest employment plaintiffs' firms in the country. Linda Friedman was filing systemic harassment cases against Wall Street and corporate America before #MeToo gave them a name. The firm's expertise spans everything from individual wrongful termination cases to nine-figure class actions. They are selective about who they represent — but if your case is real, this is the kind of firm that makes employers take you seriously. Free initial case review.

What Clients Say
"Years of harassment by a senior managing director. HR did nothing. Stowell & Friedman built the case methodically — interviewed colleagues, pulled records, named names. We settled for an amount that finally felt like accountability."
"Passed over for promotion three times in favor of less qualified colleagues. Then fired when I complained. The firm filed an EEOC charge, got the right documents in discovery, and recovered nearly two years of pay plus damages."
"Told 'we don't think you'll come back' the day I returned from maternity leave. Stowell & Friedman knew exactly how to handle this. Settled before trial for substantial damages and a written apology."
