Harassment & Discrimination in the workplace: what type of lawyer do I need?

My mother & her co-worker are tired of getting threats from their boss and being treated as 2nd class citizens just because of age and race. They have confronted the company about it numerous times to get their boss fired and no person will do a thing about it.
If they continue to let her work in a high position, they are planning to sue the company, but first they’ll need a lawyer’s opinion.
What type of lawyer do they need? Thanks if you can help!

They need an employment lawyer who specializes in discrimination cases. But I don’t think they have a case. You are saying the boss is a woman? So a woman is harassing another woman? If they can prove it is due to there age and race it would fall under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. Age discrimination falls under the ADEA (Age Discrimination Employment Act.) They can also file a formal complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (www.eeoc.gov.) If after they file and they are fired they can additionally sue on the grounds of retaliation.
