Employment discrimination based on race

Issue: Employment discrimination based on race

Parkinson v. Hillcrest Educational Centers, Inc., Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination, Boston, Massachusetts

Counsel: Martha M. Wishart, Sandy P. Botelho

We represented the Complainant in a case of employment discrimination based on race. The Complainant was an African-American man with a learning disability. He alleged disparate treatment from his Caucasian co-workers and supervisors at an institutional facility. We led the client through the complaint process before the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination, and through the Discovery stage. The case was ultimately settled for an undisclosed amount.
