PRACTICE AREAS
Cincinnati Race Discrimination Attorneys
Race discrimination in the workplace is often subtle and rarely overt given the prohibitions of the Civil Rights Act of 1963 and the creation of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). As a result, race discrimination lawsuits demand thorough investigation into an employer’s hiring decisions, management practices, and problems in to the past regarding race discrimination allegations. At the law office of Robert Klingler, our attorneys take depositions from co-workers, managers, and human resources personnel, while reviewing performance review files, emails, memos, and company actions regarding allegations of race discrimination. Even if an employer or supervisor is not the source of discriminatory behavior or harassment, if they fail to prevent racial discrimination in the workplace, they can still be held liable.
If you believe you’ve been denied employment or a job opportunity due to racial discrimination, contact the law office of Robert Klingler link to Contact Us page today. Our lawyers will meet with you, evaluate your case, and discuss whether or not you have grounds for a lawsuit.
Race Discrimination in the Workplace
When considering whether or not race discrimination is a factor in someone’s denial of a promotion or job, the following factors should be considered:
- Employee's work history
- Employee's experience in relation to other job candidates
- Employee's performance reviews
- Employer's history of determining promotions / hires
- Employer's internal notes or memos regarding a hire or promotion
- Employer's past history, if any, that could be construed as discriminatory
- Racist or derogatory remarks made by supervisors or managers
Helping Your Case: Gathering Documentation
Documentation is important in any case. If you believe you have been the victim of racial discrimination, it’s important to save and preserve any emails, memos, letters, performance reviews, commendations, or communications connected to your job. Since employers often avoid blatant displays of race discrimination, exposing repeated behavior that can’t be explained away is often key to establishing the pattern and practice of discrimination.
At the law office of Robert Klingler, our lawyers identify discriminatory behavior by looking carefully at the hiring and promotion decision procedure, what human resources did or failed to do, and how a hiring manager’s explanations don’t make sense given the facts.
Fighting Back

We have the resources and legal knowledge needed to make sure those who violate both are held financially accountable for their actions.
