Rhode Island Lawyers Fighting For Victims of Racial Discrimination

A workplace should be a safe environment — physically, mentally and emotionally. Ethnic slurs, layoffs confined to a particular racial group and other unjust treatment based on skin color or ethnicity simply cannot be tolerated. Racial discrimination in the workplace is not only wrong, it is illegal.

If you feel that you have been mistreated on the basis of your national origin, skin color or ethnicity, our firm may be able to help you take legal action against your employer. Contact us for a confidential review of your situation. You deserve justice.

Have You Experienced Racial Discrimination?

Despite many advances in workplace diversity, racial discrimination still persists. It can result in substantial losses, including demotion, lost promotional opportunities, or even wrongful termination.

It is illegal under federal law for an employer to discriminate against an employee because of his or her race, ethnicity, or color. You may be a victim of racial discrimination if:

• You are forced to work in a separate area from employees of other races
• You are not allowed to participate in work activities that would put you in contact with employees of different races
• You are passed over for a promotion while less qualified people of a different race are allowed to advance
• You and others in your racial group are laid off while employees of a different race are allowed to keep their jobs

Put Experience on Your Side

Our attorneys have more than 50 years of combined experience representing employees subjected to illegal treatment by their employers. Please remember, by taking action against an offending party, you are not only helping yourself; you are helping others avoid the same discriminatory treatment in the future.
