The Law Offices of Daniel Snyder places a particular emphasis on helping people throughout Oregon fight workplace discrimination, harassment, retaliation, hostile work environment, wage and hour violations, and wrongful termination. We represent only employees. We do not defend employers for their wrongful conduct.
Experienced Portland Employment Attorneys
Employment law is a complicated and ever changing area of the law. An attorney who fully understands the intricacies of the law can help you obtain fair compensation for the wrong you endured. Our lead attorney, Daniel Snyder, has over 30 years of litigation and negotiation experience. Our attorneys zealously advocate for the rights of our clients.
State and federal laws protect employees from workplace discrimination, harassment, and retaliation based on the following classifications:
- Race
- Religion
- National Origin
- Sex or Gender
- Age
- Workers' Compensation
- Disability
- Family and Medical Leave
- Sexual Orientation
- Pregnancy
- Marital Status
- Whistleblowing
Our employment law attorneys are committed to protecting people whose civil rights have been violated. We know that for financial reasons many people continue working in discriminatory, hostile, or harassing environments, and that many others quit due to the poor work environment. We have successfully represented many clients in cases involving:
- Age Discrimination
- Racial Discrimination
- Sexual Discrimination
- Sexual Harassment
- Religious Discrimination
- Disability Discrimination (ADA Claim)

In addition, we handle workers' compensation (workers comp) claims for injured workers who have been discriminated against due to their injury. We work hard to protect injured workers' rights.
Protecting Workers' Rights
