Misconduct Investigations Attorney
Top New York Misconduct Investigation Lawyers
As an experienced attorney specializing in misconduct investigations in New York, I understand that both employers and employees can be involved in workplace misconduct.
I am the exclusive attorney in my practice and I’m especially adept at handling cases where it’s crucial to conduct thorough investigations into alleged inappropriate behavior. This includes situations where additional investigations are needed, such as in cases of sexual harassment by a superior.
Your case will always have my complete attention and, unlike at larger law firms, you’ll never get passed on to some junior lawyer or summer associate.
Types of Misconduct in the Workplace
It’s imperative to take any claims of workplace misconduct seriously. In my career, I’ve dealt with various types of misconduct including:
- Discrimination
- Employee theft
- Sexual harassment
- Inappropriate relationships
- Insubordination
- Breaking confidentiality
- Unethical behaviors
- Professional misconduct
Each case requires a unique approach and careful handling to ensure justice and fairness.
In situations that demand a comprehensive investigation into allegations of wrongdoing at work, it’s crucial to involve all necessary parties, including HR representatives. My role involves guiding you through this complex process, ensuring that legal intricacies such as attorney-client privilege, avoiding retaliation claims, and maintaining confidentiality are properly addressed.

Frequently Asked Questions: Misconduct Investigations at Work
If you’re under investigation at work or concerned about misconduct allegations, you’re not alone. A workplace investigation can have serious consequences for your reputation, career, and future opportunities, but you don’t have to face it alone. At The Law Office of David H. Rosenberg, we’re here to stand by your side, protect your rights, and guide you through this challenging time.
A workplace misconduct investigation happens when an employer looks into accusations of inappropriate behavior, policy violations, harassment, discrimination, or other alleged wrongdoing by an employee. It’s intended to gather facts before making decisions about discipline, termination, or other actions.
Employers typically launch investigations when someone reports possible misconduct. This could be based on:
- Harassment or discrimination complaints
- Allegations of theft, fraud, or other policy violations
- Workplace violence or threats
- Violations of company codes of conduct
Even minor allegations can trigger a formal investigation, so it’s important to take them seriously.
You have important rights during a workplace investigation, including:
- The right to be treated fairly and without bias
- Protection from retaliation for cooperating in an investigation
- The right to consult with a lawyer
- The right to respond to allegations made against you
We can help you understand and protect your rights every step of the way.
While it’s tempting to cooperate fully, you should be cautious. What you say can be used against you. It’s often wise to consult an employment attorney before participating in interviews or providing written statements. We can help you prepare and ensure your voice is heard without accidentally jeopardizing your case.
If an investigation seems one-sided, rushed, or influenced by personal biases, that’s a serious red flag. A flawed investigation can lead to wrongful discipline or termination. If you suspect unfair treatment, contact us immediately. We can evaluate your situation and protect your rights.
Not automatically. However, investigations can sometimes lead to disciplinary action, including termination. Whether the action is lawful depends on many factors, including your employment contract, company policies, and whether discrimination or retaliation played a role. We’re here to fight back if your rights are violated.
Here’s what you should do immediately:
- Stay calm and avoid confrontations
- Document everything — dates, conversations, witnesses, and copies of any relevant emails or documents
- Don’t discuss the investigation with coworkers unless advised by your attorney

False accusations happen. It’s crucial to respond strategically, not emotionally. We’ll work with you to:
- Gather evidence supporting your side
- Prepare for interviews
- Defend your reputation
Challenge unfair or unfounded allegations
It depends on the complexity of the case and the employer’s policies. Some investigations wrap up in a few days; others can stretch over weeks or months. No matter the timeline, we’ll be by your side from start to finish.
Depending on the findings, outcomes can include a range of consequences. Even if you are cleared, your professional reputation may still suffer and require careful management. Possible outcomes include:
- No action taken (you’re cleared)
- Written warnings or reprimands
- Suspension
- Demotion
- Termination
- Civil claim against you
- Criminal investigation
- Legal claims if your rights were violated
We work hard to protect you from unfair outcomes and to hold employers accountable when necessary.
