Michael Diederich Jr.

The Diederich Law Office focuses on helping victims of illegality and bias in employment and civil rights cases, particularly wrongful termination and job discrimination cases, and negotiating severance packages. Cases include wrongful discrimination based upon age, gender / sex, national origin, race, pregnancy or disability. I also served as a "citizen soldier" (US Army reservist), with tours of duty in the combat zones of Iraq (2004-05) and Afghanistan (2012), as an Army lawyer. I retired in the rank of lieutenant colonel. We handle cases from Long Island, through New York City and into the Hudson Valley up to Albany and Western Massachusetts. In 2020, Mike Diederich recovered the largest jury verdict in a civil rights case in the Northeastern United States, as reported in the New York Law Journal. See, Anderson v. Osborn et al. (SDNY).
