Virginia and Federal Employment Discrimination Lawyer
Virginia is an "employment at will" state. Or, as we like to tell our clients, it is a "fire at will" state - Virginia employers can terminate their employees for almost any reason under the sun. With very few exceptions, you probably do not have an employment contract, and your employer can fire you "without cause."
However, your employer cannot fire you - or demote you, or pay you less, or refuse to promote you - for discriminatory reasons. If you believe you are facing discrimination or harassment on the job, contact an experienced employment law attorney immediately. We may be able to save your job. At the very least, your employer may owe you back pay or a financial settlement.

Call an Employment Law Attorney Before You Get Fired
One of the biggest mistakes some of my clients make is to wait until they are fired - or demoted or refused a promotion - before they call me. The best time to seek advice from an experienced employee rights attorney is before you get fired.
Together we can develop a response to the illegal discrimination or harassment that may allow you to keep your job. At the very least, it is easier to gather evidence and the support of witnesses when you are still at the job and on the premises.
Illegal Discrimination and Sexual Harassment
In Virginia, it is illegal to discriminate against an employee for any of the following reasons:
- Race
- Sex
- Disability or handicap
- Religious practices
- National origin
- Citizenship status
- Military service (USERRA)
- Age
How can you tell if an action is discrimination? If you are treated differently than another employee for a reason that is not related to your job, you may be the victim of illegal work discrimination.
