$62k SETTLEMENT FOR HOSTILE WORK ENVIRONMENT against religion
Background: Our client, working in a predominantly non-Muslim environment, faced persistent mockery from coworkers regarding Islamic religious practices and dietary restrictions. Despite complaining to the manager, the behavior continued. The situation escalated when, in response to a news story involving Muslims, several coworkers made highly offensive comments about Muslim people. It was at this point that the client reached out to us.
Outcome: We were able to show that the behavior in the workplace was pervasive, and caused a hostile work environment for our client. We ended up recovering approximately $62,500 for our client.
Result:
$62,500
$22k settlement following COMPANY RETALIATION
Background: Our client was a gay man who worked in a kitchen at a restaurant. His co-workers constantly made “gay” jokes, and referred to each other as gay. Our client complained about this behavior to his manager, but his manager laughed it off. A few weeks later, our client made a second complaint, this time to the owner of the company. Almost immediately after that, our client noticed that his hours were getting dramatically cut on the weekly schedules. He ended up making way less money as he went from working approximately 40 hours a week to approximately 15 hours a week. That is when he came to us.
Outcome: We were able to show that the company retaliated against our client for complaining about a hostile work environment. The company ended up settling for approximately $22,000.
Result:
$22,000
$12k recovered COMPENSATION FOR construction worker

Shortly afterward, he was reassigned to a distant job site with reduced hours, with the boss citing that he "did not get along with the crew."
Outcome: Our client was reassigned due to complaining about a hostile work environment, and ended up taking home less pay as a result. We were able to recover approximately $12,000 for him.
Result:
