Workplace Discrimination Lawyer In Florida
No one deserves to have his or her livelihood threatened, and no one should have to put up with discrimination or other offensive behaviors at work. An employer’s motivation to promote, hire or fire an employee is not always based on his or her performance. Such action can be based on other reasons, ones that are often against the law.
Since 2002, our attorneys at the Law Office of William M. Julien, P.A., have been aggressively advocating for workers throughout Florida who have faced illegal employment actions. Our firm has helped many other clients, and we can help you, too.
Discrimination Takes Many Forms
There are many different ways that employers can unlawfully discriminate against their employees. Some examples are cited below:
- People over the age of 40 too often face discrimination based on age, and employers make hiring and firing decisions in favor of younger workers.
- An employer might pay a person of color less wages or pass them up for a promotion.
- A worker’s career may be stalled or thwarted by discrimination based on gender.
- Pregnant women can face employment barriers, sometimes finding themselves demoted or even fired after taking job-protected leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act.
- If an employer refuses to make scheduling allowances for the Sabbath or religious holidays, this may constitute religious discrimination.
- Employers can discriminate against a worker based on his or her sexual orientation.

Filing An EEOC Complaint In Florida
It can be intimidating to take a stand for your rights amid workplace mistreatment, but do not let this dissuade you from filing an EEOC complaint. A successful claim exposes injustice, holds those responsible to account and introduces a better work environment for yourself and others.
The employment law attorneys at the Law Office of William M. Julien, P.A., are dedicated to protecting your rights and ensuring you receive the justice you deserve. No matter where you are located in Florida, our employment law team can provide the guidance and support you need for your EEOC complaint.
The Risks Of Filing An EEOC Complaint Alone
Attempting to file an EEOC complaint on your own can be risky. Without proper legal knowledge and experience, you may miss critical deadlines, make procedural errors or fail to present a strong case. Even minor mistakes, like a spelling error, can pose delays and unexpected complications.
Unfortunately, it could also result in the dismissal of an otherwise valid workplace discrimination or harassment claim. A lawyer from our firm can help you avoid this unwanted outcome by handling the complaint process professionally and accurately.
