Sexual Harassment Lawsuit Filed against the Town
 of Hempstead and Former Hempstead Town Clerk

On February 11, attorney Steven Mitchell Sack “The Employee’s Lawyer,” through his affiliated law firm Mirotznik & Associates in East Meadow, New York, filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Central Islip on behalf of a woman who worked in the Hempstead Town Clerk’s office. His client is seeking unspecified damages against Mark Bonilla, the former Town Clerk, and the Town of Hempstead.

The lawsuit claims that Mr. Bonilla repeatedly made unwanted sexual advances towards the woman by making inappropriate comments and physical touching. When she refused his advances, Mr. Bonilla reassigned her to another position within the Town.

Mr. Bonilla was convicted of official misconduct in July 2013 for attempting to obtain intimate photos of the plaintiff, but was found not guilty on another count of official misconduct, coercion and attempted petty larceny. On August 7, 2013, he was removed from office. He was sentenced on October 7, 2013 to 300 hours of community service.

“This young lady courageously decided to take a stand and seek retribution for pain and suffering that she experienced, allegedly, by Mr. Bonilla and the Town of Hempstead,” Mr. Sack said. “The comments and actions he made to my client were allegedly sexual in nature, creating an intimidating and hostile work environment for her.”

    My experience working with Steven was fantastic. From the initial conversation, he was realistic and measured my expectations, while being incredibly validating. He made the process as smooth as possible, keeping me in the loop at every turn. His reassurance throughout was greatly appreciated as well. I cannot recommend Steven highly enough!

    Steven is simply phenomenal! From the moment we first connected, I could tell we were cut from the same cloth. I am always direct with and relentlessly supportive of my collaborators and clients, and Steven is no different. He is a well-informed, no-nonsense, straight-shooter who does what’s necessary to yield favorable results, which is exactly what he did for me. I protect my colleagues, which is why I’ve already been referring them to him too. With Steven on your side, you can’t go wrong. He just won’t let you.

    From my very first conversation with Steven, I knew I was in good hands. He took the time to truly listen to my situation, made me feel heard, and immediately gave me confidence that I had the right team on my side during one of the most difficult times in my life. One gesture that I’ll never forget was when he sent me a copy of his book with a thoughtful handwritten note. It wasn’t something he had to do, but it showed the kind of person he is and how much he genuinely cares about the people he represents. His guidance went far beyond legal advice. I can’t say enough about how grateful I am for Steven and the decades he has dedicated to advocating for his clients. It’s clear that this isn’t just a profession for him. He truly cares about helping people move forward. I feel incredibly fortunate to have been one of his clients, and it was an honor to work with him. I’m deeply grateful for everything he did for me and would recommend him without hesitation.
