Employment Discrimination Defense

If an employee feels that he or she has been discriminated against on the basis of race, gender, religion, age, sexual orientation, familial status, or national origin, that employee has the right to file a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC"). If you have received a charge of discrimination from the EEOC, our attorneys will work with you to investigate the claim and draft a sensible response. Our goal is to act quickly, gather all appropriate evidence, and work with the EEOC investigator to resolve the dispute with as little disruption to your business as possible.

Our attorneys have a proven track record of success in defending employers of all sizes against employment discrimination claims in state court, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas, and the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas. We have also successfully handled appeals before the Arkansas Court of Appeals, the Arkansas Supreme Court, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit.

Our employment lawyers expertise also extends to FMLA, ADA, ADAA, and USERRA suits, and we also pursue and defend theft of trade secrets claims and breach of non-compete agreement claims on behalf of both businesses and professionals.

From offices in Jonesboro and Fayetteville, our employment law lawyers represent clients throughout Arkansas, nationally and internationally.
