Lehigh Valley Employment Discrimination Attorneys

Helping employees in the Lehigh Valley — Easton, Allentown and Bethlehem

You have the right to expect fair treatment at your workplace. Meshkov & Breslin can help you get justice when you are a victim of employment discrimination. Our attorneys may take legal action to correct the unfair situation and win damages for you.

Employment discrimination and harassment

It is unlawful for an employer to make decisions concerning hiring, promotions, demotions, discipline or discharge based on your:

Race
National origin
Religion
Gender

Physical or mental disability
Pregnancy
Age

You are also protected by law against harassment based on any of these factors. Your employer is responsible for maintaining a nondiscriminatory work environment, and can be held accountable for harassing you directly or for allowing your coworkers to harass you.

Our employment discrimination lawyers examine the specific circumstances of your case and determine whether to file:

A state claim through the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission
A federal claim through the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
Both a state and a federal claim

If your state or federal claim does not adequately address your problem, we file a lawsuit in state or federal court against your employer. Our attorneys guide you through the entire process and advocate strongly for your rights.

Wrongful discharge

Pennsylvania is an "at-will" employment state, meaning that a Pennsylvania employer may generally fire an employee for any lawful reason, such as poor job performance. However, you may have a claim of wrongful discharge if you have been terminated for an unlawful reason. These include retaliation for:

Your complaint about conditions at work
- Illegal activity
- Discrimination or harassment
- Health and safety violations

Taking leave within your rights
- Family and medical leave
- Military service
- Voting or serving on a jury

You may also have a case if you were terminated after filing for workers compensation benefits. Whatever the cause of your illegal termination, our wrongful discharge lawyers help you get your job back and seek compensation for your lost wages. We may also pursue punitive damages against your employer.
