Pennsylvania Civil Rights Attorney
At the Law Offices of John A. Gallagher, our lawyers advise employees and terminated employees about their legal rights in workplace rights litigation related to employment discrimination of all kinds. To learn whether a claim for employment discrimination damages might be right in your situation, contact our office in Paoli or five other Greater Philadelphia locations.
We approach employment discrimination claims from the perspective of long experience with both employee claims and the presentation of management's defense. We know how to position your case in such a way as to reduce or eliminate the power imbalance between an individual employee and a major corporate employer.
Our streamlined litigation tactics can bring the important issues in your case into focus quickly. In many situations, we can resolve a contested case within six months.
We handle the full spectrum of employment discrimination claims
The main issue in an employment discrimination case usually involves the reason why an employee was terminated or otherwise treated unfavorably on the job. Our job as your employment lawyer is to show that the "official" reason for your dismissal or demotion was a mere pretext to cover up prohibited discrimination. Our experience with the investigation and proof of discrimination claims in the workplace can help you protect your rights in situations such as the following:
- Race discrimination
- Sex discrimination
- Age discrimination
- Disability discrimination
- Pregnancy discrimination
For women, older workers or members of ethnic minorities who believe that an employer's layoff or reduction-in-force program might disadvantage them, the best time to contact an attorney at our firm is before you've lost your job. In many cases, especially for professional or executive employees, we can achieve a better severance package for you than the one originally offered by the employer.
The sooner you contact a lawyer to review the circumstances of your potential discrimination case, the better. Your bargaining power is strongest while you still have your job, but we can also advise people who have been fired or whose unemployment benefits have been denied.
