Discrimination & Harassment
Everyone deserves to feel safe and respected at work.
We stand with individuals who have experienced workplace discrimination or harassment, such as sexual harassment, age discrimination, unwelcome conduct, or mistreatment by a coworker, supervisor, or employer. This can include pressure for sexual favors, inappropriate advances, or biased treatment rooted in personal identity.
These actions may violate your rights under state and federal anti-discrimination laws, including Title VII and the Civil Rights Act. If you've been affected, we can help you file an employment discrimination complaint, navigate the investigation process, and protect your employment rights.
Discrimination and harassment in the workplace can impact your safety, income, and future. At Marjorie Mesidor, we support clients facing sexual harassment, unwelcome conduct, harassing behavior, retaliation, and unequal treatment based on protected characteristics.
You may have a claim if:
-
You experienced sexual nature comments, offensive behavior, or pressure for sexual favors
-
Your employer failed to take immediate and appropriate action after you reported harassment
-
You were denied fair employment or retaliated against due to your national origin, gender identity, age, or sexual orientation
-
You faced unlawful conduct, verbal abuse, or physical harassment, even if it started with isolated incidents
-
You were penalized after requesting leave under the Medical Leave Act for related medical conditions or family medical history
We guide clients through the complaint process, address retaliation, and take legal action under employment law, state laws, and federal law, including Title VII, the Civil Rights Act, the Employment Act, and the Disabilities Act.

You know when something at work doesn't feel right. If you've experienced verbal abuse, unwelcome sexual advances, or offensive conduct, or if you've been excluded, overlooked, or punished for who you are, it's time to explore your options.
Discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, gender identity, or sexual orientation is a violation of your rights. Our team can help you understand if your experience qualifies under employment law, and guide you through filing an employment discrimination complaint under federal law, including Title VII and the Civil Rights Act. You deserve to be heard and supported.
