Oregon and federal law protects employees from being discriminated against on the basis of their race, sex, national origin, religion, age, disability, and injured worker status.  Employees are also protected from retaliation for whistleblowing in most cases.  Most of these claims must be filed within one year, 300 days, 180 days, or even less.  Failure to file a case in civil court or with the appropriate administrative agency within the required time may result in the loss of your rights.

At SLATER | ROSS we have successfully represented employees in discrimination cases in state and federal courts.  Most employment discrimination statutes provide for the payment of attorney fees by the Defendant in successful cases.  At SLATER | ROSS, we make every effort to recover our attorney fees from the other party to maximize our client's recovery.  At SLATER | ROSS we handle employment discrimination cases on a contingency-fee basis, which means that our clients are not obligated to pay our attorney fees if we are unsuccessful in their case.

If you feel that you have been discriminated against by your employer on the basis of your race, sex, national origin, religion, age, disability, injured worker status, or because you made efforts to expose the employer's unsafe work practices, please contact us for a free case evaluation as soon as possible.  Failure to act quickly may result in the loss of your rights.
