Employee Discrimination
New Orleans Employee Discrimination Attorney

Are you thinking about filing a discrimination claim because of unfair treatment in the workplace? Unfortunately, unfair treatment alone does not always equate to discrimination. To have a case, you have to show that something unfair happened because of a prohibited reason (i.e. race, gender, age or disability).
If you believe you have been discriminated against at work, it is often helpful to consult a lawyer before quitting your job or taking action.
Attorney James L. Arruebarrena represents employees throughout Louisiana who have been discriminated against in the workplace, in violation of Louisiana and federal law (including Title VII). With more than 18 years of experience, he has earned a reputation for being tough on employers and for getting results.
Please call our law firm in New Orleans at (504)525-2520 to consult Mr. Arruebarrena about your situation. Mr. Arruebarrena will personally evaluate your case to determine if you have a case.
If possible, please call to consult attorney Arruebarrena before taking action on a discrimination claim. He can advise you on the proper way of handling the situation and even help you draft a formal letter of protest.
What Types of Discrimination Does Federal and State Law Prohibit?
Federal law prohibits employment discrimination based on protected classes, including the following types of discrimination:
In addition to these federal and state types of employment discrimination, your employer cannot terminate your employment or discharge you for filing a complaint alleging discrimination.
Our firm is focused on protecting employee rights, including handling discrimination claims on behalf of Louisiana employees. Mr. Arruebarrena understands the stress and hardship you face when you are held back, singled out or terminated because of discrimination. He will fight for your rights and help you recover the damages you deserve from workplace discrimination.
What Actions May Lead to a Valid Discrimination Claim?

- Passed over for promotion
- Wrongfully terminated
- Paid unfair or unequal wages
