I have been an attorney for 20 years at a Philadelphia boutique law firm that offers high-quality services to individuals and businesses of all sizes.
We represent clients throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey in commercial and employment matters, contract negotiations including non-compete agreements and other restrictive covenants, litigation related to trade secrets and intellectual property, and various disputes of all types and sizes.
At Sidkoff, Pincus & Green, I'm fortunate to work alongside some outstanding attorneys and have been part of significant outcomes, including numerous multi-million dollar awards and settlements for plaintiffs, and dismissals and defense awards for defendants. We are also routinely called upon to serve as local counsel, particularly in federal court, and I have done so hundreds of times within just the past 5 years.
Please feel free to contact me about legal matters in the Philadelphia area. If my firm is not able to help you, I likely know someone who is.

- Q. Is this an example of Pay Discrimination?
- A: You may have claims under federal and state law. The Equal Pay Act, a federal law, prohibits wage discrimination on the basis of sex.

- Q. My coworker with the same job title and same job duties makes 13,000 more then me. And has been with the company less.
- A: You did not reveal your gender, but among other potential claims, you may have a cause of action under the the Equal Pay Act, which requires that men and women in the same workplace be given equal pay for equal work. The jobs need not be identical, but they must be substantially equal and this is determined by job content and not job title. Feel free to contact me with any additional questions.
- Q. My two male coworkers both make $5000 more than me as the only female. We have identical jobs and responsibilities.
- A: This sounds like a violation of the Equal Pay Act. You may be entitled to back pay, interest, attorney fees, and litigation costs. Where the court finds a lack of good faith, an employee can recover back wages in the amount of double the back pay award (called “liquidated damages”).
