If a person is fired or refused employment due to his or her race, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, deformity, disability, or other prejudice, that person can successfully sue the employer. In addition, if a person is treated unfairly in their employment, whether being denied a promotion, a raise, benefits, or being physically or emotionally abused because of who they are, they can also successfully sue their employer. We have successfully handled cases in these areas. In some instances, we have helped the injured employee; in others, we have defended organizations which were victimized by frivolous lawsuits.
We have recently seen the enactment of new laws that protect people from being mistreated due to disabilities. If an employer denies a person a job or prevents a person from advancing in a job because that person has a disability, the employee can sue the employer. We recently were involved in a case where a young person was initially offered employment after a telephone interview and then denied employment when, at the initial face-to-face interview, the employer discovered that the person was in a wheelchair.
The area of sexual discrimination, both in the workplace and out, has seen significant growth over the last decade. We have represented parties in many cases of sexual discrimination and abuse, which have been successfully resolved.
