Race Discrimination

Experienced Race Discrimination Lawyer in Pensacola

When race affects your employment situation, you may have a claim for discrimination.

  • An interviewer may decide to offer a job to someone else, even though you are the best-qualified candidate.
  • Your employer may pass you over, and give a promotion to someone else because of racial bias.
  • Your boss may have demoted you, or fired you, even though you have an excellent work record and your evaluations have always been good to excellent.

Contact the Law Office of R. John Westberry if you believe you have been treated unfairly by your employer due to race.

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 handled numerous race discrimination cases. He knows employment law as it pertains to race discrimination and he is ready to put that knowledge and experience to work for you.

The following actions by employers are illegal if based on the race of the employee:

  • failure to hire
  • demotion
  • suspension
  • wrongful termination

If you brought a race-based EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) complaint against your employer, and the employer's response was to fire you, you may have a claim for retaliatory discharge.

You may be able to recover money damages, including lost pay, benefits and attorneys fees. No employer - whether a small business, major corporation, or local, state or federal government - should deny you the right to work due to your race.

Trust Mr. Westberry with your race discrimination claim. E-mail our offices today, or call us at 850-473-0401 and let us help you protect your rights.
