SERVICES
Defense of civil rights
 
  An increasingly diverse workforce presents greater opportunities for claims of unlawful discrimination. Preventing such claims begins with in-service training on how to identify and avoid claims of discrimination. In the event a claim of discrimination is filed, quick, responsive legal advice and investigation can mean the difference between a damages award and a dismissal of the claim. Our attorneys have experience before the Ohio Civil Rights Commission, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Federal Office of Civil Rights, and the state and federal courts defending boards of education against discrimination claims.
