Racial Discrimination and Wrongful Termination in North Alabama: What You Can Do

Being fired from your job is stressful enough—but when you suspect the reason is tied to your race, it becomes far more than just unfair. It becomes a matter of justice. At DeFatta Law Firm, we help clients throughout Huntsville, Alabama and North Alabama take a stand against racial discrimination and wrongful termination in the workplace. If you believe you’ve been targeted because of your race, we want you to know: you’re not alone, and you have legal options.

Recognizing Racial Discrimination and Bias at Work

Racial discrimination doesn’t always show up in bold, obvious ways. In many cases, it’s subtle—masked behind generic excuses or quiet patterns of exclusion. Here are signs to look out for if you think you’ve experienced race-based termination or bias at work:

• Unexplained termination after years of strong performance or positive reviews
• Being overlooked for promotions or raises while less-qualified peers advance
• Derogatory comments, stereotypes, or racial jokes made by coworkers or supervisors
• A sudden change in treatment after you voiced concerns about race-related issues
• Being disciplined unfairly compared to employees of other races
• Getting fired shortly after filing a complaint or reporting workplace discrimination

These red flags aren’t just unethical—they may be illegal under federal and state law. If this sounds familiar, it’s worth taking a closer look at your situation with the help of a trusted attorney.

Retaliation Is Also Against the Law

One of the most frustrating things employees face is retaliation—when employers punish them for speaking up. Maybe you reported racial bias or asked for a fair opportunity, and instead of support, you got demoted, isolated, or fired. That’s not just wrong. That’s retaliation, and it violates your rights.

At DeFatta Law Firm, we take retaliation just as seriously as discrimination itself. If your employer tried to silence you for standing up, we’re here to speak up on your behalf.
