Workplace Discrimination

Workplace discrimination occurs when an employee is treated unfairly because of a protected characteristic such as race, gender, age, disability, national origin, religion, or other legally protected status.

Federal and state laws prohibit employers from making employment decisions based on discriminatory factors. These protections apply to hiring, promotions, compensation, job assignments, discipline, and termination.

Stephen Sommers has represented workers in discrimination cases for more than three decades and has extensive experience advocating for employees whose rights have been violated in the workplace.

If you believe you have been subjected to discrimination at work, you may have legal rights under federal and state law.
