Claims must be filed within 180 days from when the discriminatory act took place. Reach out for a consultation before filing a claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) if you believe you have experienced unlawful discrimination or retaliation. Our attorneys can file a claim on your behalf. If it has been at least five months since the adverse employment action occurred, file with the EEOC immediately to avoid missing the statute of limitations.
