Types of Discrimination

Discrimination can happen in a variety of ways, and our attorneys have experience dealing with all of them. Some examples include:

• Discrimination based on arrest and conviction records: If an employer fails to hire someone based on the existence of a record, or discharges an employee following an arrest, we will do all we can to help you.
• Use of lawful products: Generally, you cannot be fired or demoted because of products you use outside of work. This can include smoking, using birth control or drinking alcoholic beverages.
• Bankruptcy: It is unlawful for an employer to discriminate based on the fact that an employee filed for bankruptcy or is planning to file for bankruptcy.

In addition, federal law (Title VII) prohibits employers from discriminating on the basis of a person's:

• Disability
• Age
• Race
• Gender
• National origin
• Religion

If you feel that you have been fired, demoted or otherwise retaliated against for any discriminatory reason, we are ready to speak with you and explain your options.
