Building a Case
David Larkin, a former corporate attorney and tax lawyer in Beverly Hills,
had moved up to Carmel, CA where he tried his first jury case on age discrimination
and won. "There
is a lot of drama in labor and it makes the cases more interesting." says
Larkin. Now located in Phoenix, AZ he cites that the most successful cases
are settled outside of a courtroom, and those that do go to trial have
a 50/50 chance of settling in the employee's favor. Often, the company
tries to prove wrongdoing on the employee's part. "There's a lot of mud
slinging in litigation" Larkin
states, "some clients don't move forward just because they don't want
their life...or their problems at home (exposed)."
Learn how companies "think", what employees are entitled to and
who is most often targeted in age discrimination cases. If you accept early
retirement what are you gambling with if you choose to pursue an age discrimination
claim? What's the difference between immoral and illegal?
