Discrimination/Title 7 - Employees

DuPage County, IL Employment Discrimination Attorney

If you are a victim of employment discrimination based on age, race, gender, national origin, or disability, contact us immediately at the Law Offices of Philip W. Collins III in Naperville, Illinois. Your rights under Title 7 are at stake and we will help protect those rights.

Employment Discrimination Based on Age

Company downsizing has been commonplace since the eighties. Many employees over 40 who have shown long-term loyalty to their employer and have earned a high salary through hard work are often victims of layoffs. Many times, they are replaced by someone younger who has similar qualifications and educational background. That supposedly money-saving practice by a company is discrimination based on someone's age. At the Law Offices of Philip W. Collins III, we hold those employers accountable on your behalf.

Employment Discrimination Based on Disability

Disability can come in all forms, from physical to emotional. Clinical depression diagnosed by a doctor is considered a disability. In any type of work setting involving a disabled employee, the employer must make reasonable accommodations to aid you in performing your job. Those options do not include termination.

Valid and Legal Reasons Needed Following Your Termination

No matter their excuses for firing you, an employer must have a valid reason for letting you go. They have the burden of proof to show that age, gender, race, disability, or even an accusation of sexual harassment did not play a role in your termination.
