Pennsylvania and federal law prohibit employment discrimination on the basis of race, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, and other protected categories. We investigate the full pattern of conduct, not just a single incident, to build discrimination claims that hold up under scrutiny from an employer's counsel.
Lead attorney on every case we take, backed by a dedicated legal team you work with directly.
Our employment team handles matters from the initial EEOC or Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission filing through litigation, working to secure back pay, reinstatement where appropriate, and damages for the harm discrimination has caused.
Discrimination claims frequently rely on circumstantial rather than direct evidence, since few employers state a discriminatory motive outright. Courts typically apply a burden-shifting framework: once an employee shows enough to raise an inference of discrimination, the employer must offer a legitimate, non-discriminatory reason for its decision, and the employee then has the chance to show that reason is a pretext for the real, unlawful motive. Building a record that survives each stage of that analysis, comparator evidence, inconsistent explanations, shifting justifications, is often what separates a viable claim from one that stalls early.
