Race & Gender Discrimination

Race/Gender Discrimination

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII) and the Wisconsin Fair Employment Act (WFEA) prohibit employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Unfortunately, many employers still refuse to hire applicants or promote employees based on these protected characteristics. The lawyers at The Previant Law Firm can help you if you are a victim of this illegal discrimination. Our race and gender discrimination attorneys take seriously the equality of workers across Wisconsin and throughout the nation. We believe that all qualified persons should have an equal opportunity for employment. We strive to protect the rights of workplace discrimination victims.
