Susan M. Karten & Associates, LLP

Midtown Manhattan has no shortage of law firms, but finding one that handles employment disputes and workplace rights can feel like searching for a quiet corner in Times Square. Susan M. Karten & Associates, LLP operates from 200 W 57th St #602 New York, NY 10019, a building that overlooks the bustle of 57th Street yet keeps its practice firmly grounded in the details of wage claims, discrimination cases, and severance negotiations. The firm’s focus on employee-side representation means they’re often the counterbalance when workplace policies tip too far in the other direction. Calls about unpaid overtime, wrongful termination, or hostile work environments can be directed to (212) 826-3800—no appointment needed to start the conversation.

Lawyers here don’t just file paperwork; they walk clients through the maze of labor laws that govern everything from minimum wage to medical leave. Whether it’s negotiating a settlement or preparing for litigation, the team treats each case as more than a file number. Those needing directions can pull up the map and plan a visit—just don’t expect the elevator ride to calm your nerves before the meeting.
