Our Services to Fight Workplace Discrimination

The Buckner Legal Self-Help Program advocates for employees.

An employee should not have to face discrimination in the workplace based on race, color, religion, sex, pregnancy, national origin, age, handicap and marital status. In fact, an employer’s discriminatory actions and decisions violate federal and state law and should not be tolerated. If you were wrongfully terminated, denied a promotion or treated unfairly by your boss, supervisor or manager because of your race, color, religion, sex, pregnancy, national origin, age, handicap and marital status, Buckner Legal Self-Help is here to fight for you.

Federal, state and local laws prohibit an employer from making decisions concerning an employee’s hiring, firing, pay, job assignment, promotion, layoff, training and benefits based on factors other than work performance or other legal criterion. Employees who are discriminated against based on employers’ bias and prejudice, however, have a right to file a claim with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and, later, federal court to enforce anti-discrimination laws. Buckner Legal Self-Help represents employees in the EEOC charge process and in the federal court system.

We understand that the decision to pursue legal action against your employer is a difficult one. We are dedicated to pursuing the best possible outcome for you in your workplace discrimination case.
