Unlawful Discrimination & Retaliation

Unlawful Discrimination & Retaliation

Federal law — including Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, and the Americans with Disabilities Act — prohibits employers from making job decisions based on:

MGJustice Law Firm represents employees across Florida and Georgia who have been discriminated against or punished for speaking up. We look for the evidence that turns a “gut feeling” into a provable case: how similarly situated coworkers outside your protected class were treated, whether the employer’s stated reason for an adverse action shifted over time, whether a complaint you made was followed closely by a demotion, write-up, or termination, and what your personnel file actually shows versus what you were told.

Most discrimination and retaliation claims must first go through the EEOC (or, in Florida, optionally the Florida Commission on Human Relations) before a lawsuit can be filed — a process with strict deadlines, generally 300 days from the discriminatory act in states like Florida and Georgia that have a fair employment practices agency. We handle the EEOC charge, the agency’s investigation, and, where the case doesn’t resolve there, litigation in federal or state court.

Discrimination and retaliation cases can recover back pay, front pay, compensatory damages for emotional distress, punitive damages in appropriate cases, and attorneys’ fees. We take these cases on contingency — you pay nothing unless we win.

If something at work felt like it was about who you are rather than how you perform, don’t wait to find out — the clock on your claim is already running. Contact MGJustice Law Firm for a free, confidential consultation. Se habla español.
