Washington Workplace Discrimination Attorney
Know Your Rights In Washington
Federal and state laws bar discrimination based on race, color, sex, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, national origin, age over 40, disability, marital status, military status, and more. Nigel Malden Law helps employees in Tacoma, University Place, and Puyallup bring claims when unequal treatment affects hiring, pay, promotion, or termination.
Where Discrimination Shows Up
Discrimination can appear as being passed over for promotion despite strong performance, pay disparities, biased scheduling, or discipline that others do not receive. Many cases overlap with
workplace harassment, especially when slurs or unwanted conduct create a hostile environment. Nigel investigates patterns, pulls records, and prepares a charge with the EEOC or state agency before litigation when required.
Building A Strong Claim
Evidence matters. Comparable employees outside your protected class, emails or messages showing bias, and timelines tied to complaints or pregnancy announcements can turn suspicion into proof. If the discrimination led to an unlawful firing, review
wrongful termination steps to pursue full recovery.
