Legal Question in Employment Law in New Jersey

I believe a wrongful termination suit in NJ must be filed within 2 years. Is there any way that it is extended due to extenuating circumstances?

You are partially correct, however, you may be better served if you were to file a complaint with the EEOC within 300 days of the alleged discriminatory conduct. Finally, you should look at the types of discrimination covered by the EEOC and the NJ Laws Against Discrimination. A lawsuit claiming wrongful termination that is not predicated on races, disability, sex, national origin or improper uses of genetic information, or a breach of contract is very likely to be promptly dismissed by the Court.
