Wrongful Termination

Retaliation

In certain situations, a previous complaint by the employee may be the cause of the termination, such as a sexual harassment or discrimination accusation.

Discrimination

We provide tailored and thorough representation to individuals who have experienced workplace discrimination. These types of situations can lead to a hostile work environment, leaving the employee unable to effectively complete his or her job-related tasks.

State and federal discrimination laws impose the obligation on employers to treat employees equally in the hiring, terminating, promoting, disciplining, and all other aspects of employment. Some of the types of protected classifications include:

• Age discrimination
• National origin/race discrimination
• Disability discrimination
• Gender/sex discrimination
• Pregnancy discrimination

Employees who are discriminated against or harassed based on their protected class, may be entitled to recover damages for emotional distress, lost wages, punitive damages and attorney’s fees. These cases are complex and complaints may need to be filed with the EEOC prior to bringing an action in court. Our experienced discrimination lawyers can explain the process and discuss your likelihood of success.
