Gender Identity Discrimination Lawyer Washington DC

Federal law and many state laws prohibit discrimination based on gender identity or expression. If your employer has failed to uphold these protections, you may have legal grounds to seek accountability and compensation. We will help you understand your rights, your options, and what comes next.

Our employment law team is deeply committed to protecting individuals facing mistreatment based on their gender identity or gender expression. We handle cases involving:

• Workplace Discrimination (hiring, promotion, pay, or job termination based on gender identity)
• Harassment (hostile work environments, repeated misgendering, inappropriate comments or conduct)
• Retaliation (punishment or dismissal after speaking up or asserting your rights)
• Failure to Accommodate (denial of access to restrooms, refusal to respect chosen name/pronouns, etc.)

During your initial consultation, we will review the details of your case and begin crafting a legal strategy. Our discrimination lawyer will provide an honest assessment of your situation and explain the potential outcomes and implications of filing a claim, so you can make an informed decision about taking the next step.

Throughout the process of building and arguing your case, our team conducts a thorough investigation, gathering critical documentation and consulting relevant experts for supportive testimony. No two discriminations are the same, and our personalized approach leads to optimal results, including maximum settlement awards.

We understand that coming forward can feel daunting when your identity has been invalidated or targeted. This is especially true in these uncertain times, where the LGBTQ+ community is the target of numerous legal attacks. Our DC gender identity discrimination lawyer approaches every conversation with empathy, discretion, and zero judgment. We create a supportive environment catered to each of our clients, individually, where you can share your story openly and safely.
