Denise Fitzhenry, a former executive assistant to Honigman vice chair and one-time Chairman Alan Schwartz, has sued Schwartz and the law firm for allegedly discriminating against her following an injury. Fitzhenry's lawyer, Deborah Gordon, claims that the atmosphere at Honigman is more akin to an episode of "Mad Men" than a modern workplace. Gordon also claims secretaries at the firm were required to wear high heels and that Fitzhenry received her initial injury when she caught her heel on a carpet in Honigman's office.
