Discrimination and sexual harassment should never be a part of your job. They are demeaning, demoralizing, and illegal according to Florida employment law. We represent Florida employees and former employees who have sexual harassment and discrimination claims. We handle lawsuits that involve both same-sex and opposite-sex sexual harassment. Discrimination claims include those involving race, gender, national origin, and sexual orientation discrimination. Our lawyers focus especially on religious discrimination. There are two basic types of religious discrimination claim in Florida employment law. The first consists of reasonable accommodations. If a Jewish man needs Saturday off, and is refused or fired, he may have grounds for a discrimination claim. He may also have a claim if his employer refuses to allow him to wear a yarmulke. The second kind of religious discrimination is even more unpleasant. We have seen blatant anti-Semites. Muslims have faced increased discrimination recently. At one time or another, we have represented in Broward County, The Roman Catholic Church, Calvary Baptist Church, Buddhists, Atheists, Muslims, and others with anti-discrimination claims. Blowing the WhistleOur society owes a debt of gratitude to the employees brave enough to expose illegal or unethical business practices. Unfortunately, most employers don't share that sentiment and so, people who blow the whistle often find themselves out of a job, defamed, or worse. According to federal and Florida employment law, it is illegal to retaliate against someone who brings attention to illegal or unethical activity. That does not prevent retaliation from occurring. That is when we can help. We tirelessly fight for the rights of whistleblowers.
