Experienced Age Discrimination Lawyer in Pensacola
Not everyone can afford to retire. And even if you can, you may not want to. A study commissioned by the American Association of Retired People (AARP) concluded "68% of age 50-70 not-yet-retired workers plan to work in some capacity into their retirement years -- or not retire at all."
But your company may want to hire someone younger - at a much lower salary - to do your job. They may use your age as a reason to discharge you. That's age discrimination and it is against the law.
If you have been the victim of age discrimination, contact the Law Office of R. John Westberry today. Let us explain your rights and evaluate your case.
Our attorney, R. John Westberry, is Board Certified in Labor Law and Employment Law by the Florida Bar Board of Legal Specialization and Education. He has practiced law for 34 years. Mr. Westberry has a wealth of experience handling claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA).
Mr. Westberry has brought many cases before the Merit Systems Protection Board (for federal employees), the Public Employees Relations Commission (for state employees), the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the Florida Division of Administrative Hearings, and the Florida Commission on Human Relations.
We handle age-related cases involving:
- failure to hire
- demotion
- suspension
- wrongful termination
If you have suffered these or other denials of your working rights, due solely to your age, you may have a legal remedy.
You may be able to recover money damages, including lost pay, benefits and attorneys fees. Whether the local, state or federal government, a small business, or a major corporation employed you, you have the right not to be discriminated against due to age.
Contact the Law Office of R. John Westberry today and speak with Mr. Westberry. You'll be glad you did.
