If you are an employee, you should be able to work in an environment free of discrimination and harassment.  Even in today’s world, where discrimination should be strongly opposed, people often find themselves victims of prejudice and mistreatment.  When an employer mistreats an employee because of race, gender, age, sexual orientation, nationality, disability, exercising workers compensation rights, or other protected reason, that employer is in violation of federal, state or local law.  If you have been wrongfully terminated, sexually harassed, retaliated against, or otherwise discriminated against do not be afraid to stand up for yourself.  The attorneys at Londrigan, Potter & Randle, P.C. will work with you every step of the way.
