Private Sector Employee Representation
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits employers from discriminating against employees and applicants on the basis of race, color, sex, religion or national origin. The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 protects people ages 40 and older. Disabled workers are protected by the Americans With Disabilities Act Amendments Act of 2008 (ADAAA). If an employer violates these laws, you can file a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
At the Law Office of Donald D. Zuccarello, we represent individuals in EEOC proceedings as well as in state and federal courts. You can rely on our attorneys to protect your rights throughout the entire process.

Standing Up to Workplace Discrimination
Private sector employees who experience discrimination because of their race, age, disability, gender, religion, national origin, or who have been victims of sexual harassment, should report it to the EEOC or the Tennessee Human Rights Commission (THRC). In most cases, you must complete the EEOC's/THRC's administrative process before you can file a lawsuit against your employer.
You have 300 days from the act of discrimination to report it to the EEOC and 180 days to file a claim with the THRC. Our firm can help you draft documents to submit to the appropriate agencies and gather and review evidence. We can also participate in mediation and help you respond to questions and document requests.
If you and your employer cannot reach a settlement through mediation, we can take your case to state or federal court. We are experienced trial attorneys who will fight aggressively on your behalf.
