If you feel you've been discriminated against at your workplace based on your personal beliefs or the way you look or act, you may require the services of a discrimination lawyer. Because most people need to work to earn a living, many employment laws exist to prohibit discrimination based on nationality, weight, height, disability, ethnicity, sexual preference, age, religion, or even military status. Discrimination lawyers can tell you which laws apply to your particular situation and what legal solutions are available to you.

If another person has made you feel unsafe or uncomfortable because they've acted in a sexual way in your presence, then you may benefit from the services of a sexual harassment attorney. Sexual harassment can take place anywhere: in public, at school, at work, or even at home. For example, you may feel you were fired for refusing to go on a date with your boss, or had a teacher or manager touch you inappropriately at school or work. Sexual harassment attorneys can help you understand your rights as well as what actions you can take in these situations.

A wrongful termination lawyer can help if your employer fires you for an unfair reason. Wrongful termination occurs when your employer breaks an employment agreement with you, violates an employment or anti-discrimination law, or fires you in retaliation for whistle-blowing or for filing a sexual harassment or workers' compensation claim. If you think you were wrongly fired, talk with a wrongful termination lawyer to see if the circumstances of your firing justify a claim.

Employment attorneys focus on the many laws concerning the relationship between employers and employees. If you feel your employer has treated you wrongly as an employee, or if you're an employer who needs to terminate an unsatisfactory employee, you may benefit from the services of an employment attorney. Some professionals, such as teachers, policemen, and pilots, belong to labor unions, which have specific negotiation and labor law procedures that protect union members. A labor attorney will know which laws apply to your particular situation and how you can take advantage of the laws to protect your rights.
