Civil Rights and Employment Law

Watson & Moran is at the forefront of plaintiff civil rights litigation. We vigorously, yet compassionately, fight for the rights of discrimination victims.

Civil rights entitle people to basic freedoms — freedom of travel, freedom to work, freedom to marry and have a family, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and the right to be treated as an equal. Discrimination occurs when basic rights are denied because of race, age, sex, religion, pregnancy, nationality, sexual preference or physical limitations.

Our attorneys are well-versed in the constitutional issues and the intricate state and federal laws that relate to how employers must treat prospective, current and former employees. Our attorneys are experienced in handling claims involving employment discrimination, sexual harassment, pregnancy discrimination, affirmative action, racial discrimination, whistleblowers, the Americans With Disabilities Act and the Family Medical Leave Act. We handle claims against government and private employers.

Watson & Moran also represents clients in actions alleging discrimination in public places, including restaurants and gas stations.

In the 21 st Century, discrimination should not be tolerated. At Watson & Moran, we strive to make it so, one client at a time.
