Employment Law - The Law Office of Michael J. Repak in Yardley, Pennsylvania

If you have been discriminated against in the workplace on the basis of the color of your skin, your religion, gender, age or disability, your employer has violated your rights. Several powerful state and Federal Statutes protect your right to be free from discrimination. The Federal Statutes include:

• Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
• The Age Discrimination and Employment Act of 1967
• Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990

These statutes prohibit employers from discriminating against individuals on the basis of any of the following factors:

• Race
• Color
• Gender
• National Origin
• Disability
• Age
• Religion

Your employer does not have the right to discriminate against you. If this has happened to you, you have strong legal protection that allow you to recover compensatory and punitive damages from your employer in order to punish the wrongdoer and motivate compliance with the law in order to avoid expensive lawsuits. My knowledge of employment law will allow you to stand up for your rights and make employers regret their discrimination against workers.

I have almost ten years of experience in Human Resources for manufacturing companies.  I have a masters degree in this area as well.  I know what companies can lawfully do and how some companies try to cut corners with your rights.   If you have been treated unfairly by an employer give me a call right away.  The opportunity that you have to assert your rights is a short one.  And if you don’t bring your claim within the statutory period, you won’t be able to bring it at all.  Call me to discuss whether you have been a victim of illegal conduct by an employer.  Find our what your rights are and how you can make sure your rights are enforced.

Contingency Fees
State and Federal Statutes provide for attorney’s fees to be assessed against the perpetrator of illegal discrimination if the underlying suit is successful. This is because legislators want to people to be able to bring a discrimination lawsuit regardless of whether they have the funds to pay an attorney. Contact my office at (215) 968-3499 in order to discuss what your employer has done and whether it is actionable.

Statutes of Limitation
Time is of the essence if you have been unfairly discriminated against by an employer. In some case, you only have a few months to file a claim against your employer, either directly or through the appropriate agency. Thus if you have been discriminated against on the basis of your race, color, gender, national origin, disability, religion or age, you need to contact an experienced employment discrimination attorney at soon as possible or you may lose your right to bring a claim or file a lawsuit.
