Religion or creed

Age bias (over 50)
Actual or perceived sexual orientation
Pregnancy or maternity leave
Family or medical leave
Cancer
Disability (including failure to accommodate)

Our accomplished trial lawyers, and , have successfully sued large corporations for discriminatory practices. Their ability to build a compelling case has resulted in many notable recoveries for lost earnings, emotional distress and other adverse effects of employment discrimination.

Holding Employers Accountable

Discrimination takes many forms. Perhaps you were refused employment on the basis of your protected class. Perhaps you were passed up for advancement, transferred or reassigned to a less desirable position, or treated differently in pay or disciplinary action. It is also discrimination if you are subjected to harassment or demeaning treatment by co-workers or supervisors.

We help clients document and report the illegal conduct, and we are with you all the way if you go forward with a lawsuit against the company. We will deal forcefully with any retaliation and do everything we can to enforce your rights.
