Federal and Florida State laws prohibit discrimination on the basis of certain “protected characteristics” — including race, gender, color, national origin, religion, age, disability, maritial status, veteran status, among other characteristics. The law also prohibits harassment on the basis of any of these characteristics, like sexual harassment, racial harassment, national-origin harassment, and disability harassment, among others.
We handle discrimination and harassment matters before all Florida federal and state courts, as well as relevant administrative agencies. We have also tried many cases before juries on a number of discrimination and harassment claims.
