Successful 4 Day Arbitration Trial against National Car Retailer on Equal Pay Act and Title VII Sex Discrimination Claims

We recently had a significant arbitration award for our client in an Equal Pay Act and Title VII Sex Discrimination case with a large national car retailer company after 18 months of litigation.  The details are confidential but it was a very successful result for our client.

Our client provided the following review:

“From my first conversation with Jason, he proved his competence as an attorney. He listened without interruption. He asked very specific questions that I allowed me to share my story in a comfortable way. ( I lived 190 miles away so I had to conduct this initial conversation over the phone.) I interviewed other attorneys, and none showed the competence or compassion that Jason did.
As everyone knows, litigation can be a long, exhausting and drawn out process. Jason kept me positive but realistic about the potential outcome. At the end of the process of litigation, we won on the most important counts against my former employer. I will be forever grateful for Jason believing in me and my case even when I started to lose faith.

I’ve had friends who’ve contacted me and wished to have Jason represent them based on my sharing my experience.

The best compliment that I could give wasn’t from me. The person that ruled in our favor said about Jason ” Jason has been a very competent counsel who’s argued passionately on behalf of his client.”

Title VII Age Discrimination Settlement Obtained Against Large National Employer

Our client received a substantial confidential settlement against a large national company that has a presence in middle Tennessee.  This was for age discrimination in violation of Title VII and the Tennessee Human Rights Act.  The employer improperly took action against our client due to his age.

Or client provided a review of our services provided as follows:

“I needed assistance after being discriminated against due to my age by a very high profile, very well respected employer. After review of the details of my case, Jason devised a strategy to address my concerns and right the wrong. He prove to be very knowledgeable, with a willingness to explain all the details and procedure in layman’s terms. He was empathetic and caring. His expertise was matched with the highest level of integrity. He worked to reveal the truth of the matter, with no exaggeration, and to bring out the facts which the other party wanted to keep hidden. The opposition was well represented by a very large firm. Jason exhibited confidence and comfort which allowed me to be at ease with what would otherwise have been a much more difficult process. My case was resolved to my satisfaction, exceeding my expectations. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jason for employment law as plaintiff or defendant, as his knowledge and expertise allows objectivity required to represent either side.”

Sexual Harassment Case Against National Pizza Chain: Substantial settlement received for client

In January 2018 our client received a substantial settlement for a sexual harassment case against a national pizza chain.  Our client was physically sexually harassed, causing her significant emotional distress damages.  This sexual harassment greatly affected her and caused her significant damages.

Our client said the following about this representation:

“When I first met Attorney Lee I was unaware of my rights as a employee that had undergone sexual harassment at the workplace. Within 5 months, Mr. Lee not only superseded my legal expectations but he superseded in making sure that I was okay every step of the way. The amount I was awarded was beyond my expectations and very substantial. I recommend Attorney Lee to anyone who may be aware or unaware of their rights and need expertise guidance and counsel.”
