National Origin Discrimination

Claims for Discrimination on the Basis of National Origin

The South Florida workplace is more diverse now than ever, with native-born employees of all races working alongside immigrants from all over the globe. While it is reassuring to consider that our diversity is our strength, in many cases the true situation is not so pleasant. Misunderstandings and tensions involving race, religion, language, or nationality can arise on the job just as they do elsewhere in American society. Contact an employment discrimination lawyer at the Law Office of William M. Julien in Boca Raton for reliable advice about your options if you have been treated unfairly at work on the grounds of your national origin or nationality.

Discrimination on ethnic grounds of any kind in hiring, firing, or job conditions is prohibited under both state and federal law. We handle workplace national origin discrimination claims involving unfair treatment or retaliation on behalf of persons from the following backgrounds:

• Haitian
• Mexican
• Dominican
• Puerto Rican
• Jamaican
• Trinidadian
• Vietnamese
• African

We also serve the legal needs of workers from Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, East Asia, the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, or anywhere in Latin America.

While most of our cases involve either termination on the grounds of national origin or retaliation for having filed a discrimination complaint with the Florida Commission on Human Relations or the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, we also investigate and pursue claims for claims of wage and hour violations, unpaid overtime, or unfair denial of unemployment benefits.

We accept claims for employment discrimination on the grounds of national origin on a contingent fee basis. In other words, you don't pay us an attorney's fee unless we recover a settlement or damages in your case. We serve clients from West Palm Beach to Fort Lauderdale, and can handle claims elsewhere in Florida as well. For a free consultation, contact the Law Office of William M. Julien in Boca Raton.
