Imagine, if you're a woman, being called into a supervisor's office and being told you could no longer wear pencil skirts, turtle necks or business suits that fit your figure closely. Now imagine the reason these new rules applied only to you and were enforced because you are so beautiful that you're distracting to your male co-workers? That is exactly what happened to a woman in New York and who had worked for CitBank for several years before finding herself forced out of her job. Enter Jack Tuckner, an attorney in New York City who fights for women's rights.

Tuckner graduated cum laude from Hunter College in 1984 and then received his JD from the City University of New York Law School. He has devoted his time, efforts and education to civil rights and specifically, the civil rights of women. He founded his first law firm, Jack Bryant Tuckner Associates in 1992 before he and his current partners co founded Tuckner, Sipser, Weinstock & Sipser, LLP in 2001. It remains the only law firm specializing in women's rights in the nation. Not only is Tuckner dedicated to his cause, but his partners and staff are just as driven as he is.


If the name Jack Tuckner sounds familiar, it's likely because you have seen one of his media appearances and interviews. A very dedicated advocate, Tuckner hosts and attends various lectures across the country on everything from wage disparities between the sexes to domestic violence against women. He has been interviewed by some of the most prestigious journalists in the U.S., including Brian Williams of NBC and has appeared on CNN, Fox News, Wall Street Journal and UPN News.

It is not uncommon for Tuckner to secure verdicts for his clients in the millions of dollars. He also founded Womens Rights, New York and is the editor in chief and host of ''Speak Up!'', a program on the Women's Radio Network where he takes callers questions and keeps his large following current on the ever changing laws regarding discrimination. He also uses this outlet to discuss the many ways women can ensure they don't become a victim in the workplace and what to do if they find themselves on the wrong end of discrimination. He has also authored many pieces, including ''10 Ways to Protect Your Rights When Pregnant'' and ''Six Tips for Women Planning Maternity Leave or Facing Unlawful Practices''.

To be sure, Jack Tuckner is a driven man who is passionate not only about the legal system he represents, but those clients who turn to him when they and their rights have been disregarded. For now, Tuckner and his staff's energies are focused on representing the fired Citibank employee and single mother, Debrahlee Lorenzana as she attempts to rebuild her life. She surely must be resting easy, as do all of his clients, knowing his dedication is as strong as steel.
