Employment Discrimination Lawyers Fighting for Justice

Employment discrimination is illegal under federal law, yet it happens every day in workplaces across America. If you were treated differently because of your race, gender, age, disability, religion, national origin, or other protected characteristic, an employment discrimination lawyer from YesLawyer can help you fight back. Your initial case evaluation is free and you owe nothing unless we win.

Filing an Employment Discrimination Claim

Most employment discrimination claims start with filing a charge with the EEOC or your state's fair employment agency. An employment discrimination attorney will guide you through every step:

1. Evaluating whether your situation constitutes illegal discrimination under Title VII, the ADA, ADEA, or state laws
2. Gathering evidence including emails, performance reviews, and witness statements
3. Filing your EEOC charge within the required 180 or 300 day deadline
4. Negotiating with your employer during the conciliation process
5. Pursuing litigation if a fair settlement cannot be reached
6. Seeking damages including back pay, compensatory damages, and reinstatement

Discrimination cases have strict filing deadlines. The sooner you get a free evaluation from a YesLawyer discrimination lawyer, the better your chances of a successful outcome.

What counts as employment discrimination?

Employment discrimination occurs when an employer treats you unfavorably because of your race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, or genetic information. This includes hiring, firing, pay, promotions, and work conditions.

How do I prove employment discrimination?

Evidence can include discriminatory comments, pattern of unfair treatment, statistical data showing disparate impact, timing of adverse actions, and comparative treatment of similarly situated employees. A discrimination lawyer will help you build your case.

Do I need to file with the EEOC first?

In most cases, yes. You must file a Charge of Discrimination with the EEOC before you can sue in federal court. Your attorney will handle this process and ensure deadlines are met.

What damages can I recover?

You may recover back pay, front pay, compensatory damages for emotional distress, punitive damages, and attorney fees. The EEOC caps compensatory and punitive damages based on employer size, but state claims may provide additional remedies.
