THE BACKGROUND

An employee became aware that he was discriminated against at work due to his racial background. He made the decision to contact Employment Attorney Raymond Nardo and enlist his services to pursue litigation for his claim of race discrimination in the workplace.

THE CASE

Employment Attorney Raymond Nardo filed a charge of discrimination. The New York State Division of Human Rights conducted a thorough investigation into the matter and subsequently determined that there was "probable cause" to believe that discrimination had occurred. The fight was not yet over, however. Attorney Nardo presented, examined, and cross-examined witnesses. His expertise was crucial during the hearing. 

THE CONCLUSION

The Administrative Law Judge ruled that the company had indeed fostered a racially discriminatory and hostile work environment. As a remedy, the Judge awarded the employee $15,000 in compensatory damages, recognizing the emotional and professional harm caused by the employer’s discriminatory practices.

This case highlights the importance of legal representation in ensuring fair and equitable treatment for all employees in the contemporary workplace. Employment Attorney Raymond Nardo offers consultations to address any questions or concerns about workplace discrimination.
