If your employer is treating you differently because of your sex, religion, disability, race, color, gender, pregnancy,  or age, you may be facing discrimination.  If your employer is treating you differently or fired you because you spoke out against discrimination against yourself or against a fellow employee, you may be facing retaliation.  You need to know your rights and know that you're not alone.

​

Discrimination isn't always obvious.  Discrimination and retaliation take many different forms.  Examples include being passed over for promotions, receiving a demotion, receiving unfair disciplinary actions, receiving sudden negative work reviews, and being assigned to much less favorable work assignments.  Employers take steps to hide or downplay their wrongs.  Common tactics employers use to justify discrimination include claiming that a termination was due to planned downsizing or that another candidate was more qualified for a job.  Succeeding on a discrimination or retaliation claim depends on carefully reviewing the facts and disproving the employer's justifications.  If you suspect that you're a victim of discrimination or retaliation, it's critical to have an attorney who is capable of addressing your concerns and who will guide you through the process. 

​

Mishandling how to address concerns about discrimination or retaliation can be disastrous to an employee and adversely affect their rights.  It is imperative to follow the proper procedures (e.g., filing with the correct administrative agency, obtaining a right-to-sue letter, etc.) to protect your claims.  I have obtained favorable outcomes for employees who faced disability discrimination, age discrimination, gender identity discrimination, sex discrimination, pregnancy discrimination, and retaliation.  I'm here to fight for your rights and to help you through difficult times.  I know how these cases work.  The deadlines to file claims are some of the shortest and are incredibly strict.  Missing a deadline jeopardizes your rights.  Don't hesitate to contact me for a free consultation.
