Cleveland Race Discrimination Lawyers

State and federal laws prohibit employers from discriminating against employees based on race or national origin, yet race-based discrimination and harassment still occur in the workplace.

Caryn Groedel & Associates Co., LPA, represents employees who have experienced such treatment. The firm’s lawyers work to resolve employment disputes and explain employees’ legal rights in clear, understandable terms.

Forms of Workplace Race Discrimination and Harassment

Race discrimination and harassment can take many forms, including:

• Being disciplined under a policy that is not applied equally to non-minority employees
• Being passed over for a promotion in favor of a non-minority employee
• Being wrongfully terminated
• Being subjected to unwanted or unwelcome race-based jokes, comments, or gestures

Employees may hesitate to seek help because they fear retaliation or losing their jobs. Applicable protections may include Ohio law and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Legal Guidance and Representation

The firm evaluates the specific facts of each employment situation and develops a legal strategy suited to the employee’s circumstances. Its attorneys handle race and national-origin discrimination matters through negotiation, litigation, and, when appropriate, trial.
