Janelle Romero is a Managing Associate at Consumer Justice. After graduating from the two-year honors program at New York Law School, Janelle began her career defending employees who were illegally underpaid by their employers. In order to expand her knowledge within employment law, Janelle then worked for a law firm on Wall Street that practices exclusively in workplace discrimination and sexual harassment claims. Janelle then returned to the first firm she worked at out of law school in order to establish and develop their discrimination law department. In doing so, Janelle began making videos on TikTok to educate employees about their rights and amassed a following of over 50,000 viewers.
After having represented hundreds of employees in employment law matters, Janelle joined a hiring and payroll startup as the Leader of Labour Affairs and oversaw legal matters relating to labor and employment law, business contracts, general counseling work, and human resources. In response to the numerous inquiries she received through TikTok, Janelle founded her own law firm to provide quality affordable legal options to small businesses and employees.
In furtherance of her passion to assist employees who have been wronged by their employers, Janelle joined Consumer Justice in order to be able to expand her reach and assist employees around the country. Janelle is a board member and officer of the Dominican Bar Association.
