2024 was another busy and successful year for the Warshawsky Law Firm.  I am sincerely thankful for all the clients who have entrusted me with their cases.

For the past two years, the lion’s share of my practice has been representing employees who lost their jobs due to COVID-19 vaccine mandates.  I have represented a wide variety of clients – hourly, salaried, blue collar, administrative, professional – in a wide variety of industries – healthcare, education, law enforcement, food service, banking, city government, and sports and entertainment – who were denied religious or medical exemptions to the COVID-19 vaccines.   I care deeply about these cases.

Overall, we have won, settled, or defeated employer motions in many vaccine exemption cases (although healthcare cases are particularly challenging).  Our 2024 highlights include winning affirmative summary judgment on behalf of a New York State court officer, obtaining multiple six-figure settlements, and continuing to litigate our ongoing cases aggressively and effectively.  I am confident that 2025 will see more successful outcomes!

In addition to my vaccine exemption cases, I filed a number of employment discrimination and harassment cases in 2024, which are working their way through the court system (lawsuits take a lot of time, unfortunately).  Highlights include a lawsuit against the Connecticut Department of Correction challenging its affirmative action policy, a sex and disability discrimination lawsuit against Apple, and an ongoing equal pay lawsuit against the Culinary Institute of America.  My clients and I are not afraid to take on the biggest companies defended by the biggest law firms.  In this arena, David can – and will – defeat Goliath!

Although I am primarily an employment lawyer, I also am representing clients in two wrongful death cases involving the tragic mistreatment of COVID-19 patients.  It is sobering to speak of “highlights” in such cases, but in one case involving the wrongful denial of ivermectin, we defeated the hospital’s motion to dismiss under the federal PREP Act (an immunity statute), which was a first of its kind ruling.  We are working hard to obtain some measure of justice and appropriate compensation for the families of these medical victims.

The national news to start 2025 has been shocking and terrible, but I remain optimistic that this is going to be a good year, for the country, for the law, and for my clients.

Very best wishes for a healthy, happy, and prosperous 2025!
