Discrimination, Retaliation, and Wrongful Termination

You have a right to feel safe at work.  Discrimination and retaliation have no place in the workplace.

Workplaces should be free of discrimination, and employees should feel comfortable making good faith reports of discriminatory behavior without the fear of retaliation.  The law protects employees from adverse employment actions, like demotions and termination, that arise from discrimination or retaliation.

​

Laws protect employees from discrimination based on sex, religion, disability, race, color, gender, pregnancy, age, and other categories.  In certain circumstances, employees may be entitled to accommodations.  Employees, who in good faith, report discrimination or request accommodations, are protected from retaliation for making such reports or requests. 

 

An employer's size and whether federal or state laws apply greatly affect the options available to employees.  It is critical that employees follow the proper procedures and understand their rights when experiencing discrimination, harassment, or retaliation in the workplace.

​

I have helped clients through administrative and court processes to obtain relief.  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.

​

While I typically represents clients post-termination, I will advise currently employed individuals on a case-by-case basis.
