Washington, D.C., National Origin Discrimination Lawyer
Your language, your culture or the country where you were born should never be an issue in the workplace. Since the 1960s, it has been illegal for public and private sector employers to discriminate on the basis of national origin or ethnicity. The law firm of Alan Lescht & Associates, P.C., brings more than 50 years of combined experience advocating for the rights of employees who have been subject to stereotyping, slurs and unequal treatment in employment.
You do not have to stand for discrimination as a "foreigner" or member of an ethnic minority. Our discrimination lawyers will help you take legal action against the employer that violated your rights. Contact us for a consultation.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 specifically outlawed discrimination on the basis of national origin or ethnicity. If you are an American citizen or lawful resident of the U.S., you cannot be harassed or treated differently in hiring or termination, in pay or privileges, or in work duties and promotions.
