South Bend, Indiana Civil Rights Lawyer

In the American system of justice, too many cases slip through the cracks — barred by failure to report the incident in time or inability to produce a legally sufficient level of proof. Procedural and substantive hurdles can be surmounted by an experienced attorney. With more than ample experience, I thoroughly understand civil rights laws and handle state and federal claims. I am proud to provide our clients with insightful advice and sound logic as they pursue justice through the legal system.

Advocating for your constitutional protections against discrimination

Discrimination claims are sometimes difficult to prove. The failure to file your claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) within the statutory filing period may cost you the right to have your case heard. Contact me as soon as possible when you have suffered discrimination related to:

  • Age (ADEA)
  • Disability (ADA)
  • Equal compensation (Title VII, EPA, Lily Ledbetter Act, FLSA)
  • Genetic information (Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008)
  • National origin (Title VII)
  • Pregnancy (Title VII, FMLA)
  • Race or ethnicity (Title VII)
  • Religion (Title VII)
  • Gender (Title VII)
  • Sexual harassment (Title VII)
  • Workplace retaliation (Title VII, ADEA, ADA, EPA)

If you’ve experienced discrimination, you should consult a knowledgeable attorney as quickly as possible. Failure to file your claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) within the statutory filing period may cost you the right to have your case heard. If you live in St. Joseph County, Indiana, you may file a claim with the local South Bend Human Rights Commission. A link to their website is located under the Helpful Links tab.
