Florin|Roebig is a law firm with a long history of achieving results and representing clients from virtually every state in the nation. Because of our passion for community involvement, we wanted to use our experience and gathered knowledge to create informational resources. Many of us can agree that knowledge is power. That’s something we’ve noticed when working with many victims, how simply learning about their situation can provide a sense of comfort. For that reason, we created this guide for community members who feel as though they’ve been discriminated against and want to understand what discrimination can look like as well as their options of defense.

In the guide, https://florinroebig.com/lgbtq-discrimination/, we touch on different points such as:

  • Discrimination in the workplace, healthcare system, social setting, and legal settings.
  • The laws protecting LGBTQ+ rights.
  • What to do if you have experienced discrimination.
  • & much more.

If you’ve experienced discrimination on account of your gender expression or sexual orientation, your options for legal recourse will likely depend on your location and the nature of your case. At Florin|Roebig, our team of attorneys has the knowledge, skills, and resources necessary to help you navigate your state’s LGBTQ nondiscrimination laws and begin the process of filing a discrimination lawsuit. Call us to schedule a free case evaluation with one of our seasoned discrimination attorneys and begin the process of filing an LGBTQ discrimination lawsuit. www.florinroebig.com
