Attorney Estes obtained a favorable settlement for a former employee of the U.S. Department of Commerce before the EEOC. The client had been terminated during their probationary period and filed an EEO complaint alleging discrimination. Attorney Estes represented the client at the EEOC hearing stage. Following discovery, Attorney Estes defeated the Agency's Motion to Dismiss Without a Hearing. On the eve of the EEOC hearing, Attorney Estes negotiated a settlement with the Agency to expunge the termination from the client's official personnel file with the federal government and to provide the client with more $120,000 in damages and reimbursement of legal fees.
