Baltimore County, MD employment attorney Bruce Luchansky answers: “Are there laws that can protect me against discrimination in my place of employment?” 

Absolutely.  

But the laws only protect against certain types of discrimination, so it is important to know what types of discrimination are illegal.  In Maryland, employers may not discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex, religion, national origin, ancestry, alienage, age, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, and genetic information.  

If you believe that you have been discriminated against because of any of these characteristics, you should contact an experienced Maryland employment law attorney right away to determine if your rights have been violated.
