Biography

Legal matters include wrongful discrimination based on factors such as age, gender, national origin, race, pregnancy, or disability. Michael Diederich Jr. also served as a "citizen soldier" in the US Army reserves, with deployments to Iraq (2004-05) and Afghanistan (2012) as an Army attorney, retiring as a lieutenant colonel. The firm handles cases ranging from Long Island, through New York City, up to the Hudson Valley, Albany, and Western Massachusetts.
