Michael Smith, Attorney

A fighter who's not afraid to go after large companies and government agencies

Discrimination is wrong and hurtful no matter when or where it happens. But when it occurs in employment situations, it can cut deep. A company or agency to which you've applied or where you work to support yourself or yourself and your family should be a place where you feel safe, not threatened.

At The Law Offices of Michael T. Smith, we understand how you feel about mistreatment in employment matters and are eager to work with you to make things right. Unlike many other DuPage County lawyers, we place heavy emphasis on battling discrimination in the workplace.

We have been taking some of the largest employers in northern Illinois-including the U.S. Post Office, the Federal Aviation Administration and the Chicago Blackhawks-to trial for more than 30 years.

Focused on employment discrimination issues

The Law Offices of Michael T. Smith represents clients who have experienced employment discrimination due to personal characteristics, choices and situations including:

Sex - including gender identity, sexual harassment and pregnancy
Age
Disability
Race
National Origin
Color
Religion

Numerous federal laws including the Civil Rights Act of 1964 make discriminating based on these factors illegal in all areas of employment, including hiring and firing, compensation and promotion.

And whether you’ve been fired for something beyond your control such as being injured on the job or for engaging in a protected activity like blowing the whistle on fraud, retaliatory discharges can be particularly difficult for employees and their families. We can help.

Also, The Law Offices of Michael T. Smith adamantly defends employees who take time off to care for themselves or their family members as protected under the federal Family Medical Leave Act.

We tackle discriminatory practices in the public sector

There are many lawyers in DuPage County. But how many know the ins-and-outs of filing discrimination charges with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the Illinois Department of Human Rights?

Discrimination lawyer Michael T. Smith does. He can deftly navigate the federal and state bureaucratic machines so that you can focus on improving your life.
