Discrimination Law Solution
Angela was effectively terminated, even though it was not called a termination. She contacted us after she had filed her own complaint with the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination ("MCAD"), after the company had filed a response to her complaint denying any liability.
We worked with Angela to gather the facts and drafted and filed a civil complaint in court after removing the case from MCAD. Shortly after filing the civil complaint, we were able to reach a favorable settlement for Angela.

Postscript
Angela's case is an example of how important it can be to have an experienced employment lawyer help you with your claims. She was able to file in MCAD by herself, which preserved her rights under the statute of limitations. However, the company did not take her complaint seriously until she was represented.
If you are in a similar situation, you certainly can file in MCAD yourself, especially if you are close to the 300 day statute of limitations, but it is a good idea to consult with an attorney as early as possible in the process.
