cases - individuals who blow the whistle on their employers for violation of
employment laws and/or fraud
laws.
Our discrimination lawyers represent employees who have
experienced discrimination based upon:
It is against the law for
employment bias to occur on the basis of race, sex, religion, national
origin, physical disability, or age.
Under the law, employment discrimination
refers to bias in hiring, promotion, job assignment, wrongful termination, compensation,
and different forms of harassment. The body of these laws consists of federal and state statutes, although the U.S. Constitution
and various state constitutions also provide some protection against
bias in employment.
If you think your employer has violated these or other laws, please fill out our
consultation form
and a discrimination lawyer from our firm will respond.
Our lawyers have successfully tried many employment cases.
Employment discrimination law took a quantum
leap forward with the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The law
applies to employers with more than 15 employees, and prohibits
bias based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.
This discrimination law also specifically makes it illegal for employers to
discriminate in various aspects of employment, including hiring, firing,
and compensation.
In addition, the American with Disabilities Act is a landmark employment
discrimination law. The ADA prohibits bias in employment against
those with physical or mental handicaps. This law ensures that people with
disabilities will be treated fairly as they attempt to seek gainful employment. It is also important to note that a number of
state laws provide protection from employment discrimination. If you feel
as if you have been the victim of discrimination, you should know
your legal rights and speak with a lawyer. Contact one of our attorneys to discuss your case of
employment discrimination and explore what legal avenues are open to you
under the law. Our attorneys
have a history of holding employers accountable for cases of discrimination
against employees on the job.
