While employers are generally free to pay, hire, fire and promote employees however they see fit, they are prohibited by state and federal law from basing such decisions on age, gender, pregnancy, disability, race, ethnicity, nationality, religion or sexual orientation. Whether you are an employee whose rights have been violated or an employer facing a discrimination claim, B&M's trial attorneys have the experience and know-how to protect and aggressively pursue your interests. Recently, we successfully prosecuted a sexual orientation discrimination suit, both at trial and on appeal, obtaining over $1 million for our client.

Other representative cases include:

• Obtaining an award of $1.9 million in an age discrimination suit, the largest award of its kind at the time.
  
  
• Negotiating a $1.1 million settlement after trial for four plaintiffs in an age discrimination suit.
  
  
• Negotiating a six-figure settlement in an age and race discrimination suit for an eighteen year veteran of a company who was summarily dismissed by a recently hired, younger manager.
