Verdicts and settlements.

Secured a $1,095,000 settlement in arbitration against a Fortune-500 company on behalf of a long-term employee who was denied promotional opportunities and ultimately terminated after requesting medical leave for serious medical conditions. Claims included age discrimination, disability discrimination, and retaliation. The matter involved years of litigation, extensive discovery, multiple depositions, and motions for summary adjudication — resolving just weeks before the arbitration hearing after we defeated the employer's dispositive motion with all claims, including punitive damages, surviving.

Secured a $350,000 pre-litigation settlement for an employee who repeatedly raised concerns about potentially unlawful financial practices, trading irregularities, internal control failures, and risks of fraudulent transactions affecting client accounts. Despite years of strong performance reviews and multiple promotions, our client alleged she was stripped of responsibilities, marginalized, and ultimately terminated after persistently reporting compliance concerns to upper management.

Secured a $300,000 settlement in arbitration for a sales agent who alleged ongoing sexual harassment and retaliation by her supervisor — repeated inappropriate comments, unwelcome invitations, and conduct causing severe anxiety and emotional distress. After she complained and took stress-related medical leave, the company conducted a deficient investigation, promoted the accused supervisor, and created conditions so intolerable that she was forced to resign.

Secured a $275,000 settlement for a long-term employee who alleged years of disability-based harassment, retaliation, and hostility after taking protected medical leave related to her own disabilities and to care for her terminally ill daughter. Management allegedly attempted to push her out of the company, ignored complaints of severe harassment — including audio-recorded comments mocking her mental health and deceased daughter — and forced her resignation after an inadequate workplace investigation.

Secured a $268,000 settlement against a large corporation for an employee with under four years of service who alleged discrimination and retaliation based on his HIV diagnosis, medical leave, and sexual orientation. The case involved repeated supervisor harassment, retaliation for protected medical leave requests, denial of promotional opportunities, and termination following disputed disciplinary actions after our client complained about discriminatory treatment.

Secured a $157,500 settlement for a Customer Service Assistant who was terminated after less than six months following repeated complaints of racial harassment and retaliation by her supervisor. The case involved allegations of discriminatory comments, intimidation, and escalating retaliatory conduct after she reported the hostile work environment to management.

Secured a $150,000 settlement for an employee terminated after suffering catastrophic injuries in a near-fatal accident that left him disabled and requiring multiple surgeries. Rather than accommodate his medical leave and work restrictions, the employer repeatedly pressured him to return during recovery, threatened the loss of his position and benefits, and ultimately terminated him just days before he was medically cleared to return with restrictions.

Secured a $149,500 settlement for an hourly employee subjected to sexual harassment, degrading comments, and retaliation in a male-dominated workplace. Despite repeatedly reporting the conduct to management and HR, the harassment continued unchecked, ultimately causing severe emotional distress and forcing our client to resign.

Secured a $140,000 settlement for an Office Manager with nearly four years of service who alleged escalating sexual harassment and retaliation by senior management after rejecting unwelcome advances and reporting a workplace assault. After developing severe anxiety and depression and taking protected medical leave, management allegedly increased her workload, berated her for taking leave, ignored her requests for help, and terminated her while she remained on medical leave.

Secured a $139,500 settlement for a supervisor with nearly six years of service subjected to ongoing harassment related to his mental health disability and retaliated against after requesting medical leave and accommodations. Our client alleged he was repeatedly berated by management, denied reasonable accommodations despite medical clearance to work, and ultimately terminated because of his disability and protected leave requests.

Secured a $123,500 settlement following extensive litigation and discovery for an African-American employee who repeatedly raised concerns about being treated differently from non-African-American coworkers and denied the same training, support, and advancement opportunities. After taking medical leave for stress and anxiety, the company terminated his employment based on alleged dishonesty during an internal investigation — allegations our client strongly disputed as pretextual.

Secured a $115,000 settlement for an employee terminated after requesting accommodations for a medical condition requiring timely meal breaks. After complaining about missed meal breaks and discriminatory conduct by management, she was subjected to escalating hostility, intimidation, and retaliation before being terminated less than three months into her employment.

Secured a six-figure settlement for a short-term employee terminated during her probationary period. Our client alleged a hostile "boys' club" environment, including gender- and age-based comments, with management favoring younger male employees, undermining her performance, and terminating her shortly after placing her on a pretextual performance plan.

Secured a $100,000 settlement for an employee allegedly sexually harassed by her supervisor, retaliated against after requesting accommodations and medical leave, and terminated just days after returning from surgery leave despite having no prior write-ups. Immediately following termination, the employer allegedly pressured her into signing a vague "release" agreement in exchange for minimal severance while she was recovering and financially vulnerable. We alleged the purported severance agreement failed to clearly explain what claims were released and was obtained through misleading statements and pressure tactics.

Secured a $99,500 settlement for an employee targeted after taking pregnancy-related and mental health leave following complications from childbirth and postpartum depression. The case involved allegations of retaliation, disability discrimination, and wrongful termination after she exercised her protected medical leave rights.

Secured a $95,000 settlement for a Shift Supervisor with more than 12 years of service who alleged he was targeted and harassed after developing serious health conditions, including obesity, high blood pressure, and sleeping disorders. Although the employer claimed performance issues and sleeping on the job, our client alleged management repeatedly mocked his weight, scrutinized him differently from other employees, and terminated him shortly after he complained of disability-related harassment.

Secured a $90,000 settlement for a warehouse employee terminated for alleged misconduct less than one year after disclosing neurological and physical health conditions and requesting workplace accommodations. Our client alleged he was assigned more physically demanding tasks after disclosing his disabilities, denied meaningful accommodations, and terminated shortly after continuing medical treatment and physical therapy.

Secured a $90,000 settlement for a customer service employee with nearly 20 years of service who alleged she was targeted and terminated after taking approximately one year of medical leave related to serious hand injuries requiring surgery. Although the employer contended she could not be accommodated because her leave had become indefinite, our client alleged the company failed to engage in the interactive process, mocked and dismissed her medical condition, and terminated her without meaningfully discussing accommodations or a return-to-work plan.

Secured an $85,000 settlement for a Certified Nurse's Assistant removed from the work schedule after requesting a religious exemption from her employer's COVID-19 vaccine mandate based on her Pentecostal faith. Despite previously approving her exemption and allowing her to continue working throughout the pandemic, the employer later refused to accommodate her religious beliefs, barred her from returning to work, and failed to provide her final paycheck following separation.
