Discrimination & Equal Employment Opportunity

Rose Legal Advocates attorneys have been practicing employment law since the 1960s when David Rose became Section Chief for Employment in the Civil Rights Division of the United States Department of Justice. We provide effective representation on behalf of employees working for private-sector companies, colleges and universities, and federal, state or local governments. We handle trials, hearings and appeals in federal and state courts and at the administrative level before the EEOC and similar administrative bodies. We have developed a particular expertise in employment practices, such as standardized tests and municipal residency requirements that have a "disparate impact" on groups of employees.

Our practice focuses on a broad range of equal employment opportunity issues, including
  • Race discrimination
  • Sex discrimination
  • Age discrimination
  • Religious discrimination
  • National origin discrimination
  • Disability and reasonable accommodation
  • Retaliation
  • Sexual harassment
  • Family and Medical Leave Act
  • Discrimination against military members (USERRA)
If you believe that you have denied equal employment opportunities at work, call us at (202) 331-8555 or email us.
