Vermont Federal Discrimination Lawyer

Do You Have a Federal Discrimination Claim in Vermont? Contact Us for a Confidential Consultation

Federal employees in Vermont are entitled to a work environment that is free of discrimination. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and other laws prohibit federal agencies from both overtly discriminating against employees and adopting policies that are discriminatory in their effect.

Even so, discrimination in federal workplaces remains a significant issue. Many federal employees in Vermont experience discrimination and harassment on a day-to-day basis. Discriminatory hiring, promotion, discipline and termination are common as well, and these prohibited practices can have drastic impacts on federal employees’ lives.

A Vermont Federal Discrimination Lawyer Can Help You Assert Your Legal Rights

If you have been discriminated against as a federal employee, a Vermont federal discrimination lawyer at The Law Firm of J.W. Stafford can help you assert your legal rights. Our team can file an EEOC complaint on your behalf, and we can take your case to court if necessary. Federal employees do not have to—and should not—stand for abuse. With an experienced lawyer on your side, you can hold the government accountable, and you can secure the remedies you deserve.

Under federal law, U.S. government employees only have 45 days to initiate the complaint process. As a result, if you think you may have a claim (or if you don’t know and would like to find out), we encourage you to contact us promptly for a confidential consultation.

What Our Lawyers Can Do To Help

As a victim of federal employment discrimination, you have lots of reasons to hire a lawyer to represent you. Here are just some examples of what our lawyers can do to help:

  • Determining If You Have a Federal Discrimination Claim – Before filing a discrimination claim against your employer, it is imperative to make sure that it has violated your statutory rights.
  • Proving that You Are a Victim of Discrimination – You will need proof of the discrimination in order to assert your rights effectively. Our lawyers can gather this proof through all available legal means.
  • Deciding What Remedies To Pursue – Depending on your circumstances, you may be entitled to a variety of remedies—some of which will involve keeping (or restoring) your federal job and some of which will not. Our lawyers can help you choose the best path forward.
  • Pursuing Your Claim at the EEOC or in Federal Court – Our lawyers can prepare all necessary forms and filings on your behalf, and we can represent you before the EEOC, in federal court or both.
  • Deciding How and When To Resolve Your Claim – Should you accept an Offer of Resolution? If the EEOC rules against you, should you file an appeal? Our lawyers can help you make the right decision about how and when to resolve your federal discrimination claim.
