The law firm of Castronovo & McKinney, LLC offers expert legal services to individuals who have experienced racial discrimination in the workplace in Folsom, NJ and surrounding areas. Our experienced employment discrimination attorneys are dedicated to protecting your rights and fighting against workplace discrimination. Racial discrimination, while prohibited under both federal and state laws, continues to affect many employees, often in ways that can be difficult to detect.
If you believe you’ve faced discrimination due to your race, color, or national origin at work, you may be entitled to compensation. Our team is highly skilled in handling cases involving discrimination in hiring, promotions, pay, termination, or other adverse actions based on race or ethnicity. We work tirelessly to ensure that your case is handled with the utmost care and attention.
We understand the nuances of both federal and New Jersey state laws regarding workplace discrimination. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits employers from making employment decisions based on race, color, national origin, or other protected traits. Our firm is well-versed in the administrative procedures required to file complaints with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), and we have a strong record of securing favorable settlements for clients.
In addition to Title VII, New Jersey’s Law Against Discrimination (LAD) provides broad protections against workplace discrimination. Unlike Title VII, the LAD does not require an initial complaint with the Division of Civil Rights before filing a lawsuit, which allows for more direct legal action. Our attorneys are ready to help you navigate the complexities of both federal and state laws to secure the best possible outcome for your case.
Signs of racial discrimination in the workplace include:
- Being denied a job, raise, promotion, or other employment benefits due to your race or ethnicity.
- Receiving lower pay or worse job terms than others in similar positions based on your race.
- Being excluded from training or advancement opportunities because of your race.
- Enduring racial slurs, offensive jokes, or comments from coworkers, supervisors, or clients.
