Our ability to help clients with claims for employment discrimination depends upon our experience and skill with the investigation of the facts of each individual case. Employers today are much more sophisticated than they used to be about disguising the true reasons for an employee's termination, demotion, or other adverse action.

Sometimes prohibited discrimination is buried in the details of a business reorganization, downsizing plan, or sale of a division. We know how to analyze the facts of a given case, using expert witnesses and forensic testimony when necessary, in order to identify the telltale signs of prohibited discrimination on any one or more of the following grounds:

• Discrimination on the basis of age, sex, race, or national origin
• Sexual harassment problems
• Retaliation for filing a workers' compensation claim
• Violations of state or federal protection of employees with a handicap or disability
• Wage and overtime claims
• Civil rights cases involving state action under Section 1983
• Severance packages and noncompete agreements
• Family and Medical Leave Act claims, including pregnancy or maternity leave
• Whistleblower claims

Different state and federal civil rights laws apply to different kinds of workplace discrimination, and our familiarity with the details of each statute allows us to target our investigation to focus on the facts that will advance your claim. Mr. Julien personally handles all aspects of his cases. While we're concentrating on the development and presentation of your employment discrimination case, we devote just as much attention to making sure that your interests are fully protected and all of your questions and concerns are addressed. We're proud of our ability to combine aggressive pursuit of our clients' rights with attentive and responsive client service.

We consider your overall employment and personal situation in formulating the right strategy for your discrimination claim. If you contact us early enough, we can help you with the documentation of the facts showing discrimination, harassment, or retaliation on the part of the employer. We can also help you determine whether a lawsuit or a negotiated settlement or severance agreement is most likely to meet your needs for financial compensation while protecting your broader professional goals. Additionally, we can advise you about the best time and manner for reporting discrimination to the employer, the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, or the Florida Commission on Human Relations. Because every case is different, we tailor our advice and tactics to your particular circumstances.

We accept employment discrimination cases on a contingent fee basis. That means that we charge no attorney's fee until your case settles on acceptable terms or we win at trial of your claim. In many cases, an employer will be forced to pay the employee's attorney's fees. You have nothing to lose by contacting us to learn about your rights.

At the Law Office of William M. Julien, we represent clients from all over Florida, especially the communities between West Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale.
