Discrimination means less favorable treatment based on certain protected categories such as gender, race, national origin, age, religion, sexual orientation, or disability.

Many employees believe that they can’t prove discrimination without direct evidence, such as a smoking gun document.  In fact, today, most cases of discrimination are proved through circumstantial evidence.  The United States Supreme Court has ruled that circumstantial evidence, or the totality of bits and pieces of evidence, is sufficient to prove discrimination.  Judges and juries recognize that employers have become much more careful to cover up smoking gun evidence.

After many years of handling discrimination cases, the Law Offices of Fern Trevino has become highly skilled in ferreting out circumstantial evidence that will prove discrimination in terminations, promotions, hiring, hostile work environments, and other terms and conditions of employment.

If you believe that your employer has discriminated against you, contact the Law Offices of Fern Trevino and discuss your situation.
