Civil Rights Law
O’Malley & Madden, P.C. Can Help With
Discrimination, Harassment & Bias Violations
At O’Malley & Madden, we believe everyone deserves to work without fear of discrimination, harassment, and retaliation. We fight against discrimination and harassment in the workplace for both private and public sector employees using federal, state, and local civil rights laws. We stand up for those employees suffering unequal treatment in the workplace based on their race, gender, pregnancy, disability, age, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, and other protected traits. Our attorneys work to hold employers accountable and ensure that all employees receive the full benefit of their civil rights. We also protect employees who report discrimination or harassment from further acts of unlawful retaliation.
Government Misconduct
We represent public employees and contractors who have endured violations of their constitutional rights to due process and equal protection, or who are subjected to abuse of power by governmental entities, including retaliation for blowing the whistle on violations of law, misuse of funds, discrimination, or other official misconduct. Our attorneys are known for their experience handling whistleblower cases and representing individuals who have suffered retaliation for exposing governmental wrongdoing. We work as a team to determine the best path forward for each client, assessing whether to pursue relief under constitutional protections, 42 U.S.C. § 1983, state whistleblower statutes, or other federal, state, and local anti-retaliation laws.
Free Speech & First Amendment Retaliation
Employees who work for federal, state, or local governments have the right to free speech, including in the workplace, and to be protected from government retaliation. If you have been unjustly targeted for protesting, speaking out against injustice, or exposing misconduct, O’Malley & Madden will fight to uphold your First Amendment rights. Our firm defends those facing retaliation, censorship, or intimidation, ensuring that constitutional freedoms are protected against government overreach and suppression.
