Prominent Chicago Employment Discrimination Lawyer

Although the law protects individuals from discrimination in the workplace, discriminatory employment practices remain a major problem throughout the country. In addition, many individuals have difficulty grasping the full scope of protection afforded to employees and prospective employees under the law.

That is why it is important to contact an experienced employment discrimination attorney. Located in Chicago, David Lehman Law Offices have been protecting clients' rights since 1989.  

Employment Discrimination Takes Many Forms   

David Lehman Law Offices represents individuals who have been victimized by a whole host of discriminatory employment practices. State and federal laws regarding employment discrimination are expansive. Employers in Illinois are prohibited from discriminating against an employee or prospective employee on the basis of race, sex, age, national origin, religion, disability or sexual orientation.

Chicago employment discrimination lawyer David Lehman has been practicing since 1973. He has achieved record high settlements in the area of racial and ethnic origin discrimination in 1993, and in the area of sexual harassment and whistleblower protection in 2006.

Unlawful conduct in this area encompasses a wide variety of adverse actions by an employer. For example, employers may not engage in discriminatory hiring, firing, discipline, training, advancements, promotions, benefits, and compensation. Retaliatory termination as a result of reporting the discriminatory actions of an employer is prohibited as well.

In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which was recently enacted as a response to corporate accounting scandals such as Enron, and other laws protect whistleblowers who report their employers' unscrupulous business practices.

Contact an Experienced Employment Discrimination Attorney

Discrimination can be very difficult to prove. Over the years, employers have become adept at avoiding legal responsibility. Concrete evidence can be difficult to obtain, and employees may be reluctant to testify against an employer. Without an experienced attorney, it can be difficult, or even impossible, to successfully challenge these unlawful practices and obtain compensation.

David Lehman Law Offices understand the difficulties of pursuing an employment discrimination claim. The firm has attained some of the largest verdicts in the state of Illinois for individuals harmed by a discriminatory employment situation. To begin the process of protecting your rights and obtaining compensation for your economic and emotional losses, please contact the firm today.
