Your Identity Is Not a Liability
Discrimination in hiring, pay, promotions, discipline, and termination is illegal when it is based on race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy and sexual orientation), national origin, age (40+), disability, or genetic information. Federal statutes — Title VII, the ADEA, the ADA, and the Equal Pay Act — together with Florida law, prohibit these practices.
Andrew Obeidy, Esq. has spent over two decades litigating discrimination cases. We know how courts evaluate these claims and how employers defend them — and we prepare accordingly.
Forms Discrimination Takes
Discrimination is rarely labeled as such. Watch for these patterns:
Unequal pay for equal work
Being passed over for promotion
Termination tied to a protected characteristic
Hostile treatment after disclosing pregnancy, disability, or religion
Biased hiring or interview questions
Retaliation for reporting discrimination
How a Discrimination Case Is Built
Courts impose procedural roadblocks for discrimination plaintiffs that do not exist for other civil plaintiffs — administrative exhaustion with the EEOC, strict deadlines, and demanding burdens of proof. Evidence like pay stubs, evaluations, comparative data, and communications can make the difference.
We guide you through the EEOC process, preserve your timeline, gather comparative evidence, and position your claim for negotiation or trial.
