A COMPREHENSIVE UNDERSTANDING FOR THE BEST LITIGATION DEFENSE

Harassment and retaliation are forms of discrimination. Claims are almost always made under California law, but federal law nonetheless provides guidance to the California courts. Hudock Law knows every detail of the law on both state and federal levels.

Assessment of discrimination claims is typically case-specific and can be highly subjective. Hudock Law capitalizes on these features by leveraging its knowledge and experience to discover key facts and evidence, strategically apply the law, develop a strong argument, and synthesize all of these elements into a persuasive and compelling defense.

CASE STUDY

BACK-TO-BACK WINS FOR INTERNATIONAL LABOR ORGANIZATION IN DISABILITY DISCRIMINATION CASES

Two former employees of an international labor organization filed EEOC complaints against the organization, alleging disability discrimination. Before Mr. Hudock represented the organization, the EEOC found reasonable cause to believe the organization discriminated against the former employees, who then filed separate lawsuits in federal court. The law allows EEOC reasonable cause determinations to be used as evidence of discrimination at trial, so all parties believed the cases were indefensible.

Mr. Hudock took over the organization’s defense, and developed an argument that although the employees could use the EEOC determinations to prove discrimination in their court cases, under specific circumstances, the courts were not required to accept them in deciding summary judgment.

In each case, in front of two different judges, Mr. Hudock convinced the court to disregard the EEOC reasonable cause determination, turn 180 degrees away from the EEOC findings, and grant summary judgement in favor of the organization. Mr. Hudock then obtained court orders requiring the employees to pay the organization thousands of dollars in litigation costs.
