Discrimination may take the form of hiring, firing or discrimination in job duties. Unlawful employment actions can be subtle. Let our team help you investigate to determine if you are the victim of employment discrimination or another wrongful employment action.

A claim for unlawful discrimination in the workplace is based on disparate treatment for an employee or citizens based on a protected class. For example, say that an employer hires both men and women for the same job. If they then assign women to one set of job duties and men to another set of job duties, they are engaging in unlawful employment discrimination. Similarly, if a company refuses to hire women, or even if they have policies that indirectly prevent women from entering the workforce, they may be in violation of discrimination laws.

Unlawful discrimination cases are often fact-based claims. In other words, the strength of the case largely depends on the facts at hand. That's why our team works diligently to investigate evidence to develop your legal strategy. We build all the case elements, including the facts and legal arguments, so that you are in a strong position to receive a favorable result in your case.

When you're mistreated at your workplace, you might wonder what the remedy can be. When unlawful employment actions happen to you, what result do you seek in court? Here are some of the solutions that we might pursue on your behalf:

• Injunctive relief - injunctive relief is a court order. It requires the employer to take certain steps to stop unlawful actions like discrimination and prevent them from occurring in the future.
• Compensatory damages - If you have lost pay, failed to receive a promotion or otherwise not obtained the salary that you deserve, you may qualify to collect compensatory damages.
• Pain and suffering - Being the victim of an unlawful employment practice is almost always emotionally gut-wrenching. You deserve financial compensation for what you have been through.
• Punitive damages - What your employer did to you wasn't right. If your employer engaged in deliberate bad actions, they might be subject to punitive damages.
• Attorney fees - The employer may have to pay for the cost of an attorney to bring your claim.
• Court costs - The employer may have to pay your court costs and other legal fees.
