Employment Discrimination Lawyers for Florida, Washington, D.C. and Maryland
Workplace discrimination can affect your income, reputation, health, and sense of security. LAR Legal Group represents employees who face discrimination or retaliation and helps them understand the evidence, deadlines, and options available. Serving Florida, Washington, D.C. & Maryland.
Representation when work becomes unfair or unsafe
Employees may face unlawful treatment based on race, colour, religion, sex, national origin, age, or disability. Retaliation for reporting discrimination, participating in an investigation, or asserting workplace rights can also create a claim. We listen to what happened and develop a strategy based on the facts rather than assumptions.
Wrongful termination and retaliation
A termination may be wrongful when it is connected to a protected characteristic or protected activity. Retaliation claims can arise when an employer responds negatively after an employee raises a discrimination concern or takes another legally protected step. The timing, communications, treatment of coworkers, and stated reason for the decision may all matter.
How to document workplace discrimination
Good documentation can help preserve the details of a workplace dispute. Keep a dated record of incidents, comments, decisions, witnesses, performance feedback, schedule changes, discipline, and reports made to management or human resources. Preserve emails, messages, policies, evaluations, and other records you are lawfully allowed to keep.
Build a clear timeline
A timeline can show what happened, when it happened, who knew about it, and what changed after a complaint or other protected activity. Do not alter records, access information you are not authorized to access, or remove confidential company material.
Protect important deadlines
Employment claims can involve deadlines for filing an administrative charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or another agency before a lawsuit may proceed. Those deadlines vary by claim and location. Prompt legal review helps identify which deadline applies and what must be filed.
Negotiation and litigation to hold employers accountable
LAR Legal Group evaluates the facts, helps identify a path forward, and pursues negotiation when it can resolve the dispute fairly. When an employer will not take responsibility, the firm is prepared to litigate and present the evidence in court.
A client-centered next step
A confidential conversation can help you understand the strength of the record, what evidence to preserve, and how to approach an employer or agency without losing sight of your goals.
