Racial Discrimination

A Law Firm Fighting Racism

In a country based on principles of justice and equality, there is no place for racial discrimination. That is why it is illegal for employers to discriminate against employees on the basis of race. Other forms of racial discrimination, such as in banking and housing, are also illegal.

If you believe you've suffered illegal racial discrimination, we can help. At Rosenthal & Heymann, LLC, based in Denver and serving people throughout the state of Colorado, our attorneys help clients pursue legal remedies for racial discrimination.

Helping Employees and Others Pursue Justice

Racial discrimination in employment is against the law, whether the person being discriminated against is a member of a minority or majority racial group. Do you believe any of the following things happened to you because of racism?

  • Denied a job?
  • Fired or laid off?
  • Passed over for a promotion or raise?
  • Disciplined?

We can help you determine whether you have a racial employment discrimination case. We can also help you if you believe you have been turned down for a bank loan, rejected by a homeowners' association or otherwise discriminated against based on your race.

A Broad Understanding of Racial and Ethnic Discrimination

Sometimes, people are not sure whether discrimination based on a particular personal characteristic counts as a "racial" discrimination. Some groups may be considered a "race" by some people and an "ethnicity" by others.

Under federal and Colorado law, in addition to discrimination on the basis of race, discrimination is prohibited along several other lines that are often closely related to racial or ethnic identity, including:

  • Color
  • National origin
  • Immigration status (if you have a legal right to work in the U.S.)
  • Religion

If you are being discriminated against on the basis of any of these illegal considerations, don't hesitate to contact us to discuss how our lawyers can help you enforce your civil rights.
