Defending Against Accusations of Discrimination
As an employer, you understand and are sensitive to the role your employees play in the success of your business and the value they provide. You also understand and are sensitive to the discrimination laws that you need to follow when working with them. For that reason, if you have been accused of discrimination, it often comes as a complete surprise.

Our Commitment to You: The Four P's. Our law firm is designed to deliver personal attention from an experienced attorney in a punctual manner at a fair price. Ultimately, our goal is to provide a superior product.
What Constitutes Discrimination?
Discrimination comes in many forms. Typically, discrimination allegations involve refusal to hire, refusal to promote, disciplinary action, wrongful termination, harassment, hostile work environment, and retaliation.
Discrimination must result in an adverse employment action or consequence, such as termination. The alleged discrimination must also be a motivating factor or the substantial factor in the employer’s adverse employment decision. A partial list of civil rights discrimination protected classes include:
- Race
- Age
- Gender
- National Origin
- Citizenship
- Disability
- Religion
- Sexual Orientation
- Pregnancy
- Workers' Compensation Recipient
- Genetic Testing
We can defend Oregon employers, Portland Oregon employers, and employers throughout the United States with presences in Oregon against discrimination lawsuits. We can also protect you if you are being investigated by the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI) or the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) for alleged civil rights discrimination.
