Proven New Mexico Workplace Discrimination Attorney

Wrongful or Disparate Treatment based on a Disability

Under both state and federal law, employers in New Mexico may not discriminate against workers based on a physical or mental disability. The Americans with Disabilities Act, as well as the New Mexico Human Rights Act, prohibit employment decisions affecting hiring, pay, promotion, work assignments, benefits, termination and other job-related matters based on an employee’s physical disability. If you have been subjected to improper treatment in the workplace because of any mental or physical handicap, we can help.
