Employment Discrimination Attorney

Are you a victim of employment discrimination?  The federal government has laws that prohibit private persons, organizations or governments from discriminating against employees because of certain protected characteristics.  You have legal rights if you feel you have been discriminated against in the workplace.  

Employment discrimination occurs when a person:

To prove employment discrimination, you must show that the employer intended to treat you differently because of characteristics.  This intent can also be demonstrated if the employer has treated a lot of other persons with the same protected characteristic unfairly. 

Pursuing an employment discrimination claim against an employer is complicated because procedural laws vary depending on where and when you file your claim.  A lawyer will help you with the filing deadlines specific to your claim.  Also, because the EEOC investigators will not get to your claim immediately, a lawyer can help you investigate and pursue any additional remedies.  It is also a good idea to see a lawyer before signing a waiver or severance package. The Law Offices of Allyn & Ball can help protect your rights and represent you if you feel you are a victim of employment discrimination.
