Wrongful Termination
If you’ve been wrongfully terminated, you may be able to pursue financial remedies from your employer. However, proving such a case can be incredibly difficult on your own. To make your claim as successful as possible, you’ll want to work with an employment discrimination attorney in Providence, RI.
A lawyer from our team can help you seek damages if you were terminated for one of the following reasons:

- Filing a workers’ compensation claim
- Requesting or taking leave under a law like the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)

Retaliation
Retaliation occurs when an employer demotes you, fires you, lowers your pay, or takes another action that negatively impacts the terms and privileges of your employment because you took part in a “protected activity.” Protected activities include whistleblowing, taking part in an investigation of your employer’s practices, or even filing an employment discrimination claim.
If your employer has taken an adverse employment action against you for filing a discrimination claim or engaging in another protected activity, we can help. An employment discrimination lawyer from our team in Providence, RI, can build a robust claim on your behalf and tirelessly pursue the outcome you deserve.
Our Employment Discrimination Lawyers in Providence Know the Laws that Protect You
Our team has in-depth knowledge of the state and federal laws protecting you from workplace discrimination. We can use our understanding of the law to take action against your employer and recover financial remedies.
Many of the claims we file are associated with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This law protects you from workplace discrimination based on your national origin, gender, religion, and race. If you’ve faced age-related discrimination at work, we’ll use the Age Discrimination in Employment Act to argue that you deserve compensation.
We’re also closely familiar with the protections laid out in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Rehabilitation Act. These laws prohibit employers from discriminating against private and public employees because of their disabilities.
For example, if you have a disability that requires you to use a wheelchair and your employer refuses to provide the reasonable accommodations you need to do your job, we can use our legal knowledge to file a claim. These are just a few of the laws we may use when building your case. No matter how complex your situation is, you can count on us to build a winning claim.
