Evidence
While it may be obvious to people that a person is the victim of discrimination, it may not be obvious to the court. For example, if an employee gets fired for being often tardy, this is a just cause for the employer to end employment. It may be due to racism, such as if employees of a different race are allowed to be tardy and do not have to suffer the same consequences, but this will be difficult to prove in court.
When speaking with an attorney that specializes in cases like this, people will be able to decide if they have a case or not.
The court process
After a client determines that they do have a case, they may not know what is going to happen next. An attorney with plenty of experience will be able to discuss the process of going to court and filing a lawsuit, from the details of the paperwork process to actually going to court.
Most people with no experience will feel better if they know what is going to happen next, and a lawyer can help make sure that they don't feel lost.
Key questions
One thing that lawyers are great at, among other things, is preparing a person to testify. They will ask them key questions, help them prepare their answers and even tell them what to wear if a person has never been to court before. All of this can be helpful as it will put the person at ease, and it will help them win their case.
Settlement
Some lawyers excel when it comes to trial, others will go for a settlement. Most lawyers, however, offer both. If a client is looking for a settlement and would like to avoid the lengthy process of going to court, an attorney can help them do that.
They will take over and make all the phone calls necessary. They know all the right things to say to make a company want to settle and keep things out of the courtroom.
Justice
Sometimes, a discrimination case is obvious. It is clear to everyone involved that a person is a victim, but it takes an attorney to help prove that. If people would like for justice to be served, whether it comes in the form of a trial or a settlement, the only way to make that happen is with a lawyer with experience in the area.
Most people would like to feel that sense of justice, and they would like to help guarantee that other employees or people do not have to suffer the same way that they did.
Discrimination is still alive and well. This is unfortunate, particularly for those that wind-up victims as they deal with one racist boss after another. Some victims feel that they are helpless, that this is the way that the world is and that there is nothing that they can do about it. This could not be more wrong. Instead, victims are encouraged to hire a lawyer and speak out, eliminating discrimination one person and company at a time.
