In 2025, McBrayer Law won millions of dollars for victims of sexual harassment/sexual assault; gender, age, and race discrimination; and whistleblower retaliation. In so doing, McBrayer Law had a senior executive ousted for sexual harassment; settled one executive's gender discrimination case for $150,000 after her original attorney got a $0 offer and quit; settled another employee's race/age discrimination case for $400,000 after their original attorneys got a $0 offer and quit; held an employer responsible for its executive's sexual harassment of a colleague; held a multi-billion dollar company responsible for corporate malfeasance; and was named a NYC Super Lawyer for the 7th year in a row. As one client put it: "Your clients are lucky to have you. I'm certainly one of them." 10 years after McBrayer Law's start, 2025 was the cherry on top of a decade of outstanding practice. Wishing all justice and prosperity in 2026.

McBrayer Law said: not so fast, Big Bank.(See, also, since when does a Bank keep a "dangerous" employee on the payroll for years?) One letter, 2 months, and a few rounds of negotiations later, Bank paid Client 2 times more, and Client felt heard.
