Race & Nationality Discrimination

Workplace discrimination can take many forms, including refusing to hire someone because of their skin color or deny them a promotion.

Here at JLG Lawyers, we can help you with all aspects of workplace discrimination, including harassment and wrongful termination claims. We will fight to get you the best possible case outcome so that you can move forward with your life in a positive direction.

What are some examples of racial discrimination in the workplace?

Harassment or discrimination on the basis of race or color, including offensive comments or jokes, other statements or conduct based on race or color that creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment or interferes with the employee’s work performance.
Classifications of employees, such that employees of particular races, ethnicity or skin colors, are isolated from other employees, from customer contact or relegated to certain jobs or positions.
Assignment of employees of a particular race, color or ethnicity to particular establishments or geographic areas.

Do most discrimination cases settle?

Most civil cases settle before going to trial. Sometimes cases will settle even before a lawsuit is filed, or settle
at some point during the course of litigation. Thus, the vast majority of discrimination lawsuits are settled
without having to go to trial.

What are the odds of winning a discrimination case?

It is impossible to calculate the odds of winning a discrimination case, because each case is different. It is
difficult to predict the end result at the beginning of a case. The best course of action is to talk with an
experienced attorney about your particular circumstances.

How much does a discrimination lawyer cost?

While some law firms charge a fee up front, JLG only charges a contingency fee – meaning we won’t get paid,
unless you get paid. Schedule a free call with one of our legal experts now and find out how we can help you.
