Racial Discrimination Lawyer?

CatLaw

If your employer is responsible for the racial discrimination or if your employer refuses to protect you against racial discrimination of co-workers, you probably should speak to an employment attorney in your area.

That attorney may file a complaint with the EEOC (www.eeoc.gov) and with your state's human rights dept. The complaint is investigated and the eeoc attempts to get a settlement between you and the employer. The negatives are that the eeoc cannot force a settlement, the investigation may take close to a year, and employers who are reported to the EEOC are usually not pleased with the employees who reported them. If the employee is terminated then the only recourse is to add a charge of "retaliation" to the complaint.

If the EEOC cannot resolve this, then the employee can take this into Federal District court. The cost is usually somewhere between $5,000 to $15,000. This type of case requires a ton of work upfront, so the majority of attorneys want a retainer. We all want to get paid for our work.

There are very very very few "easy open/shut" employment cases -- have never seen one. The employer ALWAYS has reasons for things, documents that implicate the employee, and evidence that shows the employer in the best light.

You can go to you local bar assocation or the American Bar Association for a referral of an employment attorney. As a word of advice, telling the attorney how 'easy & open/shut' the case is when you have no legal background is insulting. Telling that same attorney that you do not want to pay much for his/her work is double insulting. If you really want an attorney to handle your case, let the attorney review the case and tell you how easy and how much.

You will need to contact the EEOC Labor Board and file a complaint. Call 1-800-669-4000.

I can just tell you its hard to find a laywer that in the field to bring down a company willfully. I've been treated like **** in the workforce by being white. Its awful.

I've seen how they treated minorities. Its unlawful. But they don't give a flying f*uc*. Why would they. All I'm saying if your gonna "Bring It"...ya better "Bring it well".........I hope you understand!

Good Luck!

You need a civil rights attorney... these attorney's practice law covering the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended. I would suggest contacting the local EEOC local office in your area. This will also be your first step anyway as you cannot sue a company without first being issued a right to sue letter from the EEOC. You can also try a site called lawyers.com, however, all attorneys will direct you to the EEOC or a state agency first.

Most lawyers will work on a contigency fee if your case is really open and shut. This means that the actions were so egregious that there is no question that discrimination occurred. However, most cases are not open and shut. You may have been slighted or treated unfairly, which is not discrimination. That is something to discuss with your selected attorney.

Don't know about finding a lawyer that is cheap up front. Most want a retainer fee, and that certainly won't be cheap.
Good luck.

Where can I find a group, organization, association, club, or membership that would support me during my upcoming trial on racial discrimination in the workplace? My trial starts in March of 2011 in the Los Angeles Superior Court? There are more administrators testifying against me and I will be the only one having to face them when they tell their lies, cover-up, hide the truth, how they treated the African-American employees when we filed complaints that our administrators are not discipline when they verbally, physically, or in writing attack us. It is not fair they are not discipline per the University policy on Zero Tolerance.
