Sexual Harassment & Employment Discrimination Attorneys

Sexual harassment

Sexual harassment cases involve complex procedures and strict timelines the plaintiff must comply with to press charges against liable parties. While employers are not necessarily responsible for the behavior of every employee in the workplace, employers can be held accountable for the improper conduct of supervisors and harassment by any employee if the company was aware of the situation and did not take action to stop it. It is always best to consult a lawyer if you are being harassed by a co-worker.

At White, Allinder, Graham, Buckley & Carr, LLC, we strongly believe in the state and federal laws designed to create workplaces free of sexual harassment. We do everything possible to help protect the rights of harassment victims who have been subjected to unwanted attention or unfair treatment in the workplace.

Employment discrimination

Our law firm works with individuals who are victims of discrimination in the workplace. Our attorneys have a thorough understanding of Title VII, the Equal Pay Act, the Americans with Disability Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, The Missouri Human Rights Act, the Kansas Act Against Discrimination and many other laws enacted to protect the rights of workers. We use this knowledge to our clients' advantage.

Our lawyers represent clients in cases where race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, disability, age, national origin or ancestry improperly played a role in:

  • The decision to hire or fire an employee
  • The decision to transfer, promote, layoff or recall an employee
  • The use of company facilities
  • Accessibility to fringe benefits
  • Accessibility to training programs
  • Job advertisement placement
  • Compensation, assignment or classification of employees

An attorney from our firm can also help individuals with whistleblower, unfair retaliation and sexual harassment cases.

Taking swift action

The window for filing a discrimination complaint is small, and we take immediate action as soon as an employee comes to us for legal guidance. Our firm provides assistance with the wording and submission of their complaints to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the Missouri Commission on Human Rights and the Kansas Human Rights Commission. We then stay with you until the resolution of your claim.
