MEL VATZ: We have been practicing in the area of employment discrimination for over 20 years. Under both federal and state law, it is illegal to fire you from your job or to take any action against you and your job short of firing, which is done because of your age, of your race, of your sex, of your religion, or of your national origin. There are important facts which we have to explore early on after you have been terminated to determine whether any of these laws have been violated.

First, we have to know about your employer. We've got to find out everything we can about your job. What has been your performance as an employee prior to this happening? Why do you think that you were discriminated against? We want to know if there are witnesses that we need to talk to. It is important to gather as much evidence as early in the process as possible because in every discrimination case, it is our job to prove that what happened to you was wrong.

We will file for you a complaint, a lawsuit in federal court or in state court seeking damages for you, lost wages, any costs that you have had for any damages that we can show are caused by the unlawful actions of your employer. Call us. We'll sit down with you. We will evaluate all of the facts. And we will help you.

The employer is going to be represented by an attorney. So it's important that you have an attorney, too.
