Philadelphia Discrimination Attorneys Fighting Other Types Of Workplace Discrimination

Discrimination is not dead. For example, in the last decade, there has been an increase in reports of discrimination against people of Islamic faith. Racial discrimination and gender discrimination still exist as well. Regardless of what category you fall under, you should not have to put up with mistreatment based on it.

Discrimination is prohibited not only in employment but also in areas such as housing and access to credit. The discrimination lawyers at Markowitz & Richman know these laws inside and out. We will listen to you and explain how the laws relate to your situation.

Pennsylvania And New Jersey’s Anti-Discrimination Laws

The statutes of New Jersey and Pennsylvania contain specific laws prohibiting discrimination against certain groups of people in certain circumstances. Pennsylvania’s law is called the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act. New Jersey’s is the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (LAD). Cities can also enact their own regulations regarding discrimination.

However, it depends on the context whether a certain group has special protection. For example, familial status is only protected in buying or renting housing. This is due to a historical pattern of discrimination in this context.
