Failure to Hire or Promote

Cincinnati, Ohio Employee Rights Attorneys

While there is no guarantee of being qualified for a job and being hired or promoted, acts of discrimination may be actionable in a court of law. At Beckman Weil Shepardson LLC, we investigate cases involving a failure to promote or hire when qualified, experienced candidates are victims of discrimination or retaliation. Using company records, witness testimony, and work history, we expose discrimination in all its forms, whenever and wherever it occurs. Patterns may exist and can be identified when considering ethnic, age, and gender diversity within the context of hiring or promotion decisions.

Located in Cincinnati, we represent clients in Greater Cincinnati including Westwood, Cheviot, Norwood,, and Mason, as well as in the Northern Kentucky cities of Florence, Covington, and Newport.

Documenting Your Case

Documentation in any legal proceeding is important. Before discussing your case with an attorney, gathering all or a portion of the following information will assist our team of lawyers in evaluating your case:

• Personnel policies and handbooks
• Phone messages
• Performance reviews
• Official job description
• Pertinent emails or notes
• Commendations or awards

Patterns of Behavior

Companies cannot always hide the effects of discrimination. For instance, when lay-offs happen, are most of the people affected older? Have most of the recent job promotions in a department gone to those of a certain gender or race? And, how do your qualifications and work experience compare to the person who was hired or promoted? As employee rights lawyers, we identify patterns of discrimination, in conjunction with other evidence, to build and support your case.
