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. One of the best ways for us to create a record as to the employer's "true" reason for firing you is at an Unemployment Compensation hearing. That is because employers are often not represented by counsel at these hearings, and are unprepared to cultivate their testimony to fend off a discrimination claim. Therefore, if you believe you have a discrimination claim, it is very important that you have an attorney represent you at your Unemployment Compensation hearing. 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:
- National origin 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.
Philadelphia Civil Rights Labor Lawyer Specializing in Representing Individuals in Discrimination Claims
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, denied severance or whose unemployment benefits have been denied.
