A lawyer once told Derek Smith many years ago not to get so emotionally involved in his cases. Well, we think the complete opposite is true! It makes us furious when we hear stories of employers discriminating against or sexually harassing our clients! If an employer treats you differently because of your race, religion, age, gender, or disability, we say, “How dare they??” If your boss sexually harasses you or compels you to have a sexual relationship of any kind, we are outraged! We like to become one with our clients. We represent them, and they represent us.

When an employer allows sexual harassment, discrimination, and unfair treatment in your workplace, simply going to work every day can be a nightmare. You may be anxious, afraid, and confused about where to turn for help. That’s where we come in. At the Derek Smith Law Group, PLLC, our employment lawyers aggressively go after employers who have tolerated or created illegal work practices at their company. We pursue justice by getting you the compensation — and peace of mind — you deserve.
Enduring sexual harassment or discrimination at work is devastating, both personally and professionally. At the Derek Smith Law Group, our employment attorneys take a personal interest in each and every one of our clients. Your problems are our problems — We work together to find the best possible resolutions.
We want you to win, and we want you to get the most money possible as quickly as possible – Just like you do. Furthermore, you should note that we did not go to Law School simply to push papers and make phone calls! If you wish, and if warranted, we love to take cases to trial. We are trial lawyers and are not afraid to take a case all the way! We will always advise you throughout the course of representation. We will be with you all along. Additionally, you should know that most of the time, cases are settled privately and confidentially before a lawsuit is even started. If you do not wish to ever start a lawsuit, we understand that, and we can make every effort to settle your case without a lawsuit. Moreover, if we do have to go to court, oftentimes, we can bring your lawsuit as a “Jane Doe” (or “John Doe”) so you can proceed anonymously in sexual harassment cases. If the settlement is not possible before starting a lawsuit, you also have the right to just tell us you wish to drop the case.
