Client Testimonials

"After meeting Morris E. Fischer, Esq., for the first time, I wrote him the following email:

Morris,

'I would like you to represent me in my MSPB/EEOC hearing against the Department of Homeland Security.

My husband and I spent the last three days consulting with several attorneys. We decided that we should have gone with our gut and hired you on the spot. You stand head and shoulders above those that we met - all of whom have more years experience.

We recognize the magnitude of the situation we're facing - not only how it impacts my career, but how it impacts our family's future. We are not wealthy. We are honest, hard working people. We both come from military families, have both honorably served our country, and three of our eight children wear a uniform in defense of our nation. We've worked nearly our entire adult lives serving the public. My husband and I have always done the right "thing" even when that "thing" resulted in personal sacrifice and hardship.

We believe you are a lawyer for people just like us.... a defender of "the little guy." You struck us both as someone who is honest, open, and down to earth. You are someone we believe we can trust with our family's future. No matter what the outcome we are sure you will have given us everything you've got.

We sincerely hope you will represent me. I am available any time to talk to you on the phone or in your office about next steps. I am able and very willing to do as much of the heavy lifting to assist you with my case as I can.

I look forward to hearing from you.'

Morris Fischer then represented me in my discrimination and retaliation case against the Department of Homeland Security. I am happy to say that all of the reasons I thought he would be excellent for my case turned out to be true. Mr. Fischer exceeded my expectations. He is a master negotiator. I received a confidential settlement that I was very pleased with. He was also prompt, professional, a delight to work with and has excellent follow through."

"I retained labor & employment lawyer, Morris E. Fischer, Esq., to represent me in my sexual harassment case. I was very impressed with the degree of aggressiveness and professionalism that Mr. Fischer displayed in representing me. His firm interviewed the key witnesses in my case and did all the leg work to get me a settlement I was very pleased with. I was also delighted with how personally prepared Mr. Fischer was throughout my case."

Debbie Stewart,
Ridgeley, West Virginia

I was looking for a Labor lawyer in the Washington, D.C. metro area. I found Morris E. Fischer. I very much enjoyed working with Morris. He was very professional and showed a genuine interest in my case. Working alongside my union, Morris Fischer, proved himself to be a first rate labor lawyer in Maryland and we were able to negotiate a final settlement that enabled me to put closure on a very difficult episode in my life and move on to my next career endeavor. Morris also promptly returned my phone calls and was always up to date in bringing to me my case's developments.

Lida Skrzypczak, Washington, DC

Morris Fischer handled my disability discrimination case in a professional and more than competent manner. He reviewed the case with me at each stage, including medical records, doctor's notes and correspondence with the company. I felt very much included in the case right at the EEOC stage without the need to file in Court or making this too much of a disruption in my life. I would certainly recommend Morris E. Fischer, Esq., for his knowledge of discrimination law and careful manner of operation.

April Bortner, Hampstead, Maryland

I was very satisfied with my lawyer, Morris Fischer's performance. He analyzed my case very well and followed through when it counted. Whether your issue is discrimination, employment contract related or retaliation, I would recommend Mr. Morris E. Fischer for your legal needs."

Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the American Disabilities Act (ADA), and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA), it is illegal for employers to discriminate in any significant aspect of employment against an employee covered by a protected class. These include:

• age
• sex
• race
• ethnic background
• religion
• handicap
• pregnancy

Discriminatory practices under these laws also include: harassment on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, or age; employment decisions based on stereotypes or assumptions about the abilities, traits, or performance of individuals of a certain sex, race, age, religion, or ethnic group, or individuals with disabilities; and denying employment opportunities to a person because of marriage to, or association with, an individual of a particular race, religion, national origin, or an individual with a disability.

Employers are required to post notices to all employees advising them of their rights under the laws EEOC enforces and their right to be free from retaliation. Such notices must be accessible, as needed, to persons with visual or other disabilities that affect reading.

We provide comprehensive representation in the area of discrimination. Our firm confidently explores and addresses the issues at hand in order to pursue a resolution to the situation as efficiently and effectively as possible. Some of the types of discrimination that are commonly seen in the workplace include the list below, which is made up of protected classifications, in addition to several other discrimination matters.

We are extremely selective in the cases we handle because the evidentiary standard for an employee is very high. Basically, the employee will have to demonstrate enough evidenced for a jury to accept that the employer's stated reason for taking the stated action against the employee is untrue.

Recently, our office settled a discrimination case against the United States Postal Service for $162,500.00 that was reported in the Roanoke Times.
