Discrimination occurs when a person is treated less favorably than someone else in a similar situation due to one or more of the following factors: their race, gender, disability, age, religion, or sexual orientation. In fact, most employees fall into some protected class which makes discrimination against them illegal by state and federal laws.

An employer’s initial response to any claim of discrimination by an employee is essential as it will have a major impact on the defense of the case.

Our attorneys are available at all stages of the litigation process to assist employers in navigating the difficult situations that can arise when an employee files a discrimination claim and yet continues to work for the employer. From the outset, we work closely with employers to evaluate each case and determine the merits of the employee’s claim.

We also assist in responding to the allegations contained in the complaint and will advise you on how to handle the situation going forward, including how to avoid any retaliation claims that could arise if the employee in question feels they are being disciplined for complaining in the first place.
