Discrimination and Harassment

Employment Rights Lawyer Serving the DC Metro and Maryland

If you have been subjected to discrimination or harassment in the workplace, including actions that violate the Americans With Disabilities Act (the ADA) or the Family Medical Leave Act (the FMLA), you have rights. Whether the wrongful conduct occurred during the application process, while you were a part-time or full-time employee, or led to your termination or decision to quit, an experienced employment rights attorney like Denise M. Clark can enforce your rights, helping you get full and fair compensation for your employer's wrongful conduct.

The Law Office of Denise M. Clark, in Washington, DC, represents government employees, mid-level professionals, hourly workers and executives, including prospective, current and former employees, in matters involving discrimination, harassment, and retaliation in the workplace. Contact the firm to arrange a confidential consultation.

Local, state and federal laws prohibit discrimination in employment based on certain factors, including race, gender, national origin, age, religion and disability. Other characteristics, such as sexual orientation, marital status and conviction or arrest records, have also been defined as inappropriate bases for disparate treatment in employment.

Attorney Denise M. Clark brings over 17 years of experience to clients who have encountered discrimination, harassment and retaliation in the workplace, during the hiring process, or at some other stage of an employment relationship. She has successfully protected men and women who have been wrongfully discharged from employment for registering complaints about unlawful discrimination or harassment.

It's important to remember that you are not limited to recovery in situations where your employer fired you. An accepted legal theory, known as constructive discharge, allows you to obtain compensation for wrongful discharge where your employer's acts were so egregious that you opted to leave your employment rather than continue to subject yourself to unwanted harassment or discrimination. This remedy is available even if there was an employment contract.

You DO have rights, whether you quit or you were wrongfully terminated - and only you can make the decision about whether or not to enforce those rights. Contact the Law Office of Denise M. Clark, in Washington, DC, for a confidential consultation.
