My name is Sarah Fern Meil.  I represent people who have been harassed and discriminated against, people whose civil rights have been violated, people who have been treated unfairly, and people who work to provide for their families.

I was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and grew up in Flemington, New Jersey.  I attended Hunterdon Central High School and graduated as the valedictorian of my class in 1996.  I was also the New Jersey Lincoln-Douglas Varsity Debate Champion that same year.

After graduating from Yale University magna cum laude in 2000, I attended Columbia law school on a full tuition scholarship as a Hamilton Fellow and graduated in 2003.  I started my career defending large companies as a litigation associate at Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, one of the most successful law firms in the country. 

After a few years, I realized that I craved a practice representing individuals rather than big companies.  To make this dream a reality, my husband and I moved back to Hunterdon County, New Jersey and I opened my neighborhood law office. 

Though my office is in a small town, it is equipped with the most modern legal technology which allows me to represent clients against the biggest corporations and throughout New York and New Jersey and in various state and federal courts. 

I am a proud member of the National Employment Lawyers Association, the American Bar Association, and the New Jersey State Bar Association.  It would be my honor and privilege to represent you in asserting and protecting your legal rights.

ABOUT ME

Whether you're janitor, a teacher, a C-level executive, whether you trace your roots back to George Washington or you're a recent immigrant, whether you're devoutly religious, gay, lesbian or transgendered, young in age, or just young at heart - you deserve to be free of employment discrimination, sexual harassment, wrongful discharge, illegal firing and all other unfair labor practices.  Workers have rights on the job!  I am an attorney for employees in New Jersey helping whistleblowers (those who report employer fraud and unlawful practices), employees who have been discriminated against, those who have experienced unjust retaliation and many other employees and independent contractors get the justice they deserve.  Unfortunately, some employers still discriminate against, harass, unlawfully terminate and subject employees to a hostile work environment based on disability, pregnancy, age, race, national original, religion, sexual orientation, exercising FMLA rights, failure to pay overtime and standing up for what is right.  Fortunately, federal and state laws protect people against violations of these civil rights.  Contact an employment lawyer to learn more.

Through use of the latest in legal technology, I represent victims of unfair employment practices in all counties in New Jersey, including Burlington County, Essex County, Hudson County, Hunterdon County, Mercer County, Middlesex County, Monmouth County, Somerset County and Union County.  I am a lawyer for employees in the towns and cities of Annandale, Bridgewater, Camden, Clinton, East Windsor, Elizabeth, Flemington, Frenchtown, Irvington, Jersey City, Lawrenceville, Milford, Newark, New Brunswick, Paterson, Princeton, Somerville, Stockton, Trenton and many others.
