We live in a free society where who you are as a person shouldn’t be held against you. Employers especially have a duty to treat people with fairness regardless of their race, age, religion, orientation or background. At the Spitz Law Firm, we’ve made it our mission to fight for the rights of Cleveland area residents who are facing discrimination in the workplace.

If you are being discriminated against for any of the following reasons, our Cleveland employment attorneys want to help.

  • Race
  • Religion
  • Age (Over 40)
  • Disability
  • Gender
  • Military Status
  • National Origin
  • Family Medical Leave
  • Workers’ Compensation Claim
  • Wage Violations
  • Whistleblower Claims
  • Sexual Harassment

The only thing you should be judged for in the workplace is your performance. If you believe you’re being treated differently at your workplace for anything other than the merit of your work, our Cleveland employment attorneys want to assist.

Call us at (216) 291-4744 to schedule an appointment today.
