Federal & Private Sector EmploymentDiscrimination Attorneys
These laws make it illegal for federal and private-sector employers to discriminate against employees and job applicants based on race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age, disability, sexual orientation, and gender identity. In short, employers are prohibited from discriminating in any aspect of employment, such as hiring, compensating, promoting, firing, or any other terms and conditions.
If you experienced discrimination as a federal employee, you must file a complaint with the EEOC within 45 days. If you fail to meet this deadline, you may forfeit your right to take legal action. That is where Solomon Law Firm comes in. Trust us to guide you through all aspects of the EEOC complaint process and work to achieve a positive outcome in your discrimination claim against the federal government.

Protecting Federal & Private Sector Employees Against Discrimination
& Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment is a persistent problem not only in the private sector but in the halls of Congress, the Executive Branch, the federal court system, the U.S. military, and federal agencies. No matter what the employment setting, sexual harassment is considered an unlawful form of sex-based discrimination under Title VII.
While the #MeToo movement called attention to the offensive, abusive, and illegal mistreatment of women in the workplace, sexual harassment can impact anyone, regardless of their gender, sexual orientation, or gender identity. When a person in a position of authority makes sexual demands of a job applicant or employee in exchange for a job offer, promotion, or another benefit of employment, that is known as quid pro quo harassment. Moreover, sexual harassment may involve offensive conduct or comments by anyone in the workplace that are severe and pervasive enough to create a hostile work environment.
A federal employee who has experienced sexual harassment must contact an employment counselor with the EEOC within 45 days of the alleged harassment to initiate a claim. The federal employment lawyers at Solomon Law, represent victims of harassment with claims before the EEOC and in federal district courts throughout the country.
We also work with private-sector employees to resolve sexual harassment claims through the agency’s conciliation process or obtain a right to sue letter. We believe that all employees have a right to a work environment free from harassment and are well-prepared to help you fight back.
