Exposing subtle discrimination and securing fair treatment
Understanding the nuances of disability discrimination requires a keen awareness of the often invisible challenges faced by those with disabilities. The laws are clear—both the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Washington Law Against Discrimination (WLAD) prohibit discrimination in employment. Yet, detecting and proving such discrimination demands a deep understanding of the lived experiences of those affected.
At Ruiz & Smart, our approach transcends conventional legal expertise. We deeply immerse ourselves in the reality of our clients’ lives, dedicating time to truly understand and authentically speak about their experiences. This thorough engagement allows us to identify discrimination that may not be obvious to others but poses significant barriers to equal opportunity and fair treatment for the individuals affected. Our commitment extends to all aspects of employment, from hiring and promotions to pay and benefits. We work not only to understand, but also to expose the effects of these discriminatory practices to employers and juries, ensuring that injustices are clearly seen and addressed.
By partnering with Ruiz & Smart, you gain a powerful and articulate advocate for your rights. We handle each case with unwavering dedication, meticulously gathering evidence and crafting compelling arguments for the courtroom. If you are confronting workplace discrimination due to a disability, Ruiz & Smart is here to navigate the complexities of your claim and fight relentlessly for your rights and necessary compensation.
