You have worked hard to earn your boss' attention. You may have worked extra hours or taken on additional responsibilities, but instead of garnering the promotion you deserve, you were denied a position or even terminated due to discriminatory reasons. Although hurtful, unethical and prohibited, unlawful discrimination exists, and Jonathan L. Gould, Employment Law, will work with you to protect your rights.

With over 30 years of experience in employment law, attorney Jonathan L. Gould works closely with his clients to help them demand the results they want. If you were removed from work, terminated or denied a promotion based on discrimination, working with a lawyer can help you bring justice back to the situation.

Employment Discrimination Violates Civil Service Rules

Discrimination may be based on gender, race, age, disability or other factors. Regardless of which of these bases, unfairly being denied a promotion is a violation of the civil service rules. If you have a disability or severe medical condition, the employer may be required to restructure your job if you can still complete your obligations.

Retaliation and Whistleblower Claims

If you made a claim for employment discrimination or asked questions about discriminatory policies and subsequently suffered a negative employment action, want to discuss your matter with a knowledgeable lawyer to see if you have a claim. Mr. Gould handles retaliation and whistleblower matters for clients who have been penalized for their inquiry or action regarding a discriminatory practice.

What to Expect from Your Lawyer

There is a defined process for bringing an employment law claim and our firm can help you at every stage. For every client:

At the initial contact we will gather very basic factual information
If Mr. Gould thinks there is a potential case, he will call you for a more detail-oriented discussion to gauge your losses and determine if they are significant enough to warrant retaining him as your lawyer to take further action
Attorney Gould will interact with you throughout the process and keep you updated on the status of cases and your options for moving forward

Many of the employment discrimination matters can be handled in a hearing before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB). If an unfavorable result is returned, however, Jonathan L. Gould has the experience to can help you appeal the case to the federal court. In a discrimination case, this will entitle you to a new trial (de novo) in court.

We will help you demand the justice you deserve. Depending on the specific facts in your case, we may be able to pursue all of the wages and benefits (health insurance premiums, 401(k) contributions, retirement fund contributions) you have lost as a result of the discriminatory action, reinstatement or an award of future pay, and compensatory damages for emotional distress.
