An attorney can help you prepare the complaint to ensure all relevant information is included and deadlines are met.
Supporting a discrimination claim requires evidence such as written communications, witness statements, performance evaluations, and records of employment actions.

Disparate treatment involves intentional discrimination where an individual is treated less favorably explicitly because of race.
