Discrimination 20%

Discrimination based upon age, gender, disability race, national origin and religion is unlawful in the workplace. Discrimination can take the form of poor performance reviews, failure to hire or promote, suspension or termination. I represent many individuals on a straight contingency basis where I receive no fee unless I am successful in recovering financial damages for you through settlement or judgment. Please call me for a free initial consultation.

Employment and Labor 20%

Most of my practice is devoted to representing employees who have been discriminated or retaliated against by their employers due to their age, nationality, gender, disability, religion, race or because they have opposed or reported what they considered to be unlawful acts including unlawful discrimination by their employer. If your employer has not paid you overtime or other wages or has not provided you with breaks for meals and rest, please call me to discuss the situation. Free Consultation.

It is unlawful to terminate an employee based upon the employee's race, age, gender, national origin, religion or disability or because the employee has refused to do something unlawful or reported unlawful acts in the workplace.
