Atlanta Age Discrimination Attorney

Employers sometimes assume that workers over a certain age are less capable or productive, but treating someone differently based on their age is unlawful and constitutes age discrimination under both federal and state law. Taking any negative action against an employee between the ages of 40 and 70, unless it is based on reasonable job criteria that require age distinctions, is prohibited but unfortunately still happens. This is particularly distressing for older workers who have earned recognition through their years of service. At Beal Sutherland Berlin & Brown, our employment discrimination lawyers have successfully advocated for these workers. Rachel Berlin Benjamin won an age discrimination trial on behalf of her client, and the jury awarded her client the maximum allowable amount of damages after inquiring whether it could award more.
