Race Discrimination

South Florida Workplace Racial Discrimination Claims

If you have been terminated, demoted, or disciplined at work on the basis of your race, color or national origin, discrimination lawyer William Julien can analyze the facts of your situation and advise you of your rights under state and federal law. For a free consultation about your potential racial discrimination claim, contact the Law Office of William M. Julien in Boca Raton. We serve clients on workplace rights claims all over Florida, especially in the communities between West Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale.

Racial discrimination on the job is much more sophisticated and harder to prove today than it was a generation ago, but it still occurs, and you are still protected under law. The employer can often state a false reason, or pretext, justifying your termination or demotion, but a careful investigation of your claim by a skilled attorney might well reveal prohibited racial discrimination as having played an important role in your case.

We represent victims of job-related racial discrimination with claims such as the following:

• Denial of promotion
• Unfair treatment in pay, benefits, or working conditions
• Retaliation for reporting race discrimination or supporting the claim of another employee
• Wrongful discharge
• Offensive racial jokes or epithets
• Discrimination in layoffs or downsizing
• Harassment or stalking
• Workplace violence

Our ability to investigate your workplace discrimination claim can expose the pretextual nature of the employer's "official" reason for your termination or otherwise unfair treatment. When necessary, we even retain investigative and technical experts to perform a statistical analysis of your company's hiring, promotion, discipline, or termination practices in order to prove the fact of racial discrimination in your case.

We never charge for a consultation, and we invite you to call us even if you're having trouble with an unemployment benefits application. While evaluating those cases, we often discover cases of race discrimination or other violations of employee rights.
