Everyone deserves to work in an environment where they are treated with fairness, dignity, and respect. Unfortunately, discrimination in the workplace continues to affect employees across many industries. If you have been treated unfairly because of your race, gender, age, disability, religion, national origin, pregnancy, sexual orientation, or another protected characteristic, you may have legal rights.
At Duane E. Jones Law, we represent employees who have experienced discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and other unlawful employment practices. Our goal is to help clients protect their careers, recover financial losses, and hold employers accountable for violating employment laws.
Whether you were denied a promotion, wrongfully terminated, subjected to unequal treatment, or retaliated against after reporting discrimination, we are prepared to evaluate your case and explain your legal options.
Employment discrimination occurs when an employer makes decisions based on a protected characteristic rather than an employee’s qualifications or job performance. Federal and state laws prohibit employers from treating employees or job applicants unfairly because of who they are.

Employees should never be treated differently because of their race, ethnicity, or skin color. Unlawful conduct may include discriminatory hiring practices, unequal discipline, racial harassment, or wrongful termination.
Workers who are 40 years of age or older are protected from discrimination under federal law. Employers cannot force older employees out, deny opportunities, or make employment decisions based on age.
Employers cannot make employment decisions based on gender, gender identity, or sexual orientation where protected by law. This includes unequal pay, denial of promotions, pregnancy discrimination, and hostile work environments.
Employees with disabilities may be entitled to reasonable accommodations that allow them to perform their jobs. Employers who refuse reasonable accommodations or discriminate because of a disability may violate employment laws.
Employers must reasonably accommodate sincerely held religious beliefs and practices unless doing so creates an undue hardship for the business.
Employees cannot be treated unfairly because of their birthplace, ancestry, accent, or cultural background.
Pregnant employees have important legal protections. Discrimination involving pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions may violate federal and state employment laws.

Employees are protected under multiple laws, including:
We help you understand how these laws apply to your specific situation.
Harassment becomes illegal when it is based on a protected characteristic and creates a hostile, intimidating, or offensive work environment. Harassment may come from supervisors, coworkers, clients, or customers.

Many employment discrimination claims require filing a charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) before filing a lawsuit. The required process depends on the facts of your case.
Depending on the circumstances, compensation may include lost wages, back pay, front pay, emotional distress damages, attorney’s fees, reinstatement, or other remedies allowed by law.
Employment law deadlines are strict and vary depending on the type of claim and applicable laws. Acting promptly is important to preserve your rights.
