Employees have a right to be treated equally in the workplace.

Attorneys at the Law Offices of Richard L. Geller, PC have extensive experience advocating for the rights of employees who have been discriminated against. Our law firm provides skilled legal counsel in federal employment claims related to sex discrimination, racial discrimination and any other employment discrimination.
Under Title VII of the Federal Civil Rights Act of 1964, it is illegal to discriminate on the basis of gender, race, national origin, disability, pregnancy or other protected class.
We pursue employment discrimination claims related to:
- Discriminatory hiring and firing practices
- Discrimination in promotions, demotions, lay offs, etc.
- Discriminatory pay
- Sexual harassment or racial harassment
- Wrongful termination
- Other workplace discrimination
When preparing your employment claim for review by the EEOC, we collect supporting evidence of the differential treatment and analyze issues that your employer may use as potential defenses. For example, in cases alleging differential pay on the basis of race or gender, employers are required to pay equal wages to people performing jobs that require equivalent skill, training, effort and responsibility. We interview employees in similar positions to these standards to strengthen our position of discriminatory pay grades.
Most people who have been wrongfully terminated or otherwise discriminated against do not wish to be put back into the position where they were subjected to employment discrimination. Although reinstatement is a possible remedy in employment actions, there are other available remedies. We pursue back pay for the time lost, front pay for wages lost while you look for a new job, and in some cases - compensation for attorney fees and court costs.
If you have been subjected to abusive sexual comments or inappropriate language in the workplace or have suffered an adverse employment action as a result of your gender or race, we can help.
