James D. Hartt
I’m James D. Hartt, an attorney dedicated to protecting employee rights across Western, Central, and Upstate New York. With years of experience handling complex employment law cases, I’ve built my career around a single mission: providing exceptional legal representation to individuals who face discrimination, harassment, and other workplace injustices.
I proudly represent clients across Upstate New York in cases involving wrongful termination, sexual harassment, discrimination, and more.
A Proven Track Record in New York Employment Law
Extensive Experience Across Key Legal Forums
Throughout my career, I’ve successfully represented clients in the NYS Division of Human Rights, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), and both state and federal courts. This extensive experience has provided me with a deep understanding of employment law and the tools to navigate even the most challenging cases.
I’ve handled everything from disability accommodation disputes to hostile work environment claims, and my commitment is to deliver positive outcomes for my clients.
Local Representation, Statewide Impact
My practice is rooted in serving the communities of Western and Central New York, with a particular focus on empowering employees in Rochester, Buffalo, Syracuse, and Albany. By providing personalized representation and local expertise, I help clients feel more confident and supported throughout the legal process.
My Philosophy: Justice, Integrity, and Results
Justice for Every Employee
Workplace discrimination, harassment, and retaliation can leave employees feeling powerless. That’s why I’ve built my practice on the belief that everyone deserves a fair and just workplace. My work is dedicated to ensuring that employers are held accountable for their actions and that employees can feel secure in exercising their legal rights. While there is never a guarantee of prevailing in any case, I strive to achieve the optimal result under the circumstances of each case.
Integrity in Every Case
As your attorney, I believe in honest, transparent communication. I take the time to thoroughly understand your situation, explain your legal options in plain language, and guide you through the process step by step. You’ll always know where your case stands and what to expect next.
