PRACTICE AREAS
Workplace Discrimination
The workplace can be stressful enough, but when you are facing employers or fellow employees who violate your rights, your office or place of work can become a nightmare. Whether it’s in-house discrimination, harassment, or wrongful determination, we don’t put up with any kind of workplace discrimination, and neither should you.
Employers and your work peers have the duty and responsibility to respect your rights. If you’re discriminated against on the basis of age, race or ethnicity, gender, sex, sexuality, religion, etc., you can and should take legal action.
As a woman-led, woman-empowered firm, Sedaghat Law Group has the right touch to take your case. We know the nuances of the law and the system of the workplace. We’re committed to the good fight for our client’s rights so you can work without discrimination.
Areas of Workplace
Discrimination We Practice:
There are many kinds of discrimination an employee can face in the workplace. Based on a variety of factors, a person can find themselves discriminated against.
- Age Discrimination: Based on age and experience, age discrimination comes in a few forms. Particularly against older employees, off-hand remarks or excluding employees to eventually push them out of a company can be harmful and disruptive to your life. Additionally, hiring someone over another based on age is illegal. In our experience with many cases, we are familiar with how you feel and can help you.
- Gender Discrimination: Gender discrimination is serious yet commonplace in our offices. Employees who are condescended to or even paid less than other peers with equal qualifications give you grounds to make a case against your employer. Furthermore, pregnancy and maternal leave discrimination falls under gender discrimination, and our woman-led law firm is here to help you fight for equal footing in the workplace.
- Racial Discrimination: If based on race or ethinicity, hiring someone over another, paying equally qualified peers differently, denying appropriate promotions, and/or ignoring religious holidays are illegal and injurious to an employee. Our legal experts have the proven track record to identify these violations and protect your rights in the workplace.
- Sexual Harassment: Sexual harassment is not easy to fight, let alone win. There’s often intimidation factors involved, and you need strong lawyers you can trust. Whether it’s comments, groping, intimidation, or aggressive action, we know this kind of harassment and discrimination can damage your professional and personal life. As a woman-led, woman-empowered firm, we can help you stand and make your case.
- Wrongful Termination: Even if your employer is at-will, your employer must uphold public policy and regulations in the workplace. When you are fired from a job unreasonably and in a way that violates your rights, you deserve good lawyers who can back you in reclaiming lost wages.
With delicate issues like these, you need solid lawyers in your corner. Lillian Sedaghat Law Group has the proven track record to make your case successful. We’re dedicated to our clients and their rights, and if you think you may have a potential case, reach out to us. We offer free consultations and help our community in the workplace.
