Workplace harassment and discrimination are illegal and can have a devastating impact on employees’ lives. If you believe you have been discriminated against or harassed at work, it is important to speak to an attorney to discuss your legal options.
Discrimination lawyers can help you file a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or pursue a lawsuit against your employer. The EEOC is a federal agency that investigates and enforces laws that prohibit discrimination in employment. If the EEOC finds that there is reasonable cause to believe that discrimination has occurred, it may issue a complaint and proceed to litigation.
