Recognizing Discrimination in the Workplace
- Being excluded from meetings or social events: Are you consistently left out of important workplace gatherings or denied opportunities offered to your colleagues?
- Receiving unfair performance reviews: Are your evaluations overly critical or inconsistent with your actual work performance?
- Being denied promotions or training opportunities: Have you been passed over for advancement despite being qualified?
- Being subjected to offensive jokes or comments: Is the workplace culture hostile or uncomfortable due to discriminatory remarks?
- Being treated differently than your colleagues: Do you notice discrepancies in how you’re treated compared to others with similar roles and experience?
If you’ve observed any of these red flags, it’s important to document them and seek legal advice. We can help you assess your situation and determine the best course of action.

"Michael is a true gem!"In the very first five minutes of our conversation about my case, it was evident that Michael is different. We hadn't even started, and Michael was on the case, so well prepared, and so familiar with every aspect of the situation. Michael's informed perspective and knowledge of the industry is clear in every assessment he makes, and his wealth of experience saved me from many potential disasters.

frequently asked questions
-
Can I sue my Las Vegas employer for discrimination if I was fired for refusing to participate in illegal activity?
Yes. Nevada law protects employees who refuse to engage in illegal activity. If you were terminated for refusing to participate in something unlawful, you may have a strong claim for wrongful termination. Contact us to discuss your specific circumstances.

What is the process of filing a discrimination complaint with the Nevada Equal Rights Commission (NERC)?
The NERC handles discrimination complaints in Nevada.
The process generally involves:
- Filing a charge of discrimination: You must file a formal complaint with the NERC within 300 days of the discriminatory act.
- NERC investigation: The NERC will investigate your claim, which may include interviewing witnesses and gathering evidence.
- Mediation: The NERC may offer mediation services to help you and your employer reach a resolution.
- Right-to-sue notice: If mediation is unsuccessful, the NERC will issue you a “right-to-sue” notice, allowing you to file a lawsuit in court.
Navigating the NERC process can be complex. We can assist you with filing your complaint and guide you through each step.
