Federal Employment Discrimination

Washington, D.C., Federal Employment Discrimination Lawyer

As the nation's capital, Washington, D.C., and surrounding areas of Maryland and Northern Virginia are home to thousands of federal employees. At Alan Lescht and Associates, P.C., our attorneys have over 60 years of experience and represent individuals who have suffered employment discrimination while working for the federal government. These cases are unique because the law affords federal employees certain protections unavailable to employees in the private sector. If you have suffered harassment, discrimination, retaliation, or wrongful termination as an employee of the federal government, we can assert your right to the protection you deserve.

Federal employees are afforded specific legal protections and rights unavailable to employees in the private sector. If your rights were compromised as a federal employee, contact a law firm with the experience you need to get results.

Our federal employment discrimination attorneys have represented clients in all of the following cases:

• Discrimination: Age, Pregnancy, Disability, Denial of Reasonable Accomodations, reprisal, Gender, nationality, and religion
• FMLA disputes
• Disability discrimination and accommodations for disabled persons
• Title VII and Equal Employment Opportunity (EEOC) matters
• Lost wages, denied positions, wrongful termination, retaliation

Our attorneys are committed to protecting the rights of federal employees and enforcing the constitutional and statutory protections they deserve. We have extensive experience representing clients in hearings before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the Merit System Protection Board (MSPB). Federal employment disputes are traditionally addressed through an administrative process, rather than a judicial one. We regularly work with federal employees and we have an intimate familiarity with the administrative rules governing federal employment.

If you believe you have been discriminated against or mistreated in the workplace, or wrongfully denied employment or advancement, you have recourse. Contact us today for a free phone consultation.

We represent individuals who have suffered discrimination, particularly when an employee has been denied a position because of a disability, gender, race, age, or nationality. We will take the time to understand your unique needs and goals to be met through legal action, including lost wages, damages, and attorney fees. If you are disabled, we may be able to assist you in getting accommodations such as telecommuting arrangements, a modified schedule, or special equipment.
