Handling discrimination and wrongful termination cases for employers and employees in both state and federal courts, as well as various local, state, and federal administrative agencies, we are very familiar with the procedural nuances specific to each of these legal forums. When handling such an important matter, it is important to know and comprehend the significance of the smallest of details. For example, the size of the company and the type of discrimination alleged may determine the forum where such discrimination claims may proceed. Further, recent changes in the law now provide greater filing options to employees alleging discrimination based on violation of Illinois state law.  We stay on top of changing laws and cases interpreting them, to provide you the best representation possible.

A verdict for or against you on an employment discrimination case can have a major impact on the future of your career or business; as such, it is important to consider all your options. We have experience negotiating fair resolutions when it suits the needs of our clients, but we are ready to protect their rights in court as well if negotiations fail. We have also handled cases before various Courts of Appeals. Whether strategizing for pre-litigation, informal resolution, to arguing your case on appeal, we can see your employment discrimination matter through from start to finish.
