Gabriel Smith Attorney at Law

Employment Discrimination

Federal and state laws prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, sex, age, disability, and other protected traits. My practice assists employees in asserting these rights and counsels businesses on compliance.

Protected Rights

Understanding Anti-Discrimination Laws

Federal statutes such as Title VII, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act safeguard workers from unfair treatment. Alabama follows these principles while also providing state remedies.

Gabriel Smith guides employees and businesses in Opelika through these overlapping rules so that hiring and promotion decisions remain lawful and transparent.

Investigation and Filing

The EEOC Process

Discrimination claims often begin with a charge filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The agency reviews the facts, may investigate, and can issue a right to sue letter if settlement efforts fail.

Because strict deadlines apply, timely consultation helps preserve valuable evidence and positions clients for the best outcome.

Remedies for Victims

Securing Relief

Successful discrimination claims may lead to reinstatement, back pay, or other monetary damages. Courts can also order policy changes to prevent further violations.
