Your Experience is What Matters.
Being Fired for Age is Illegal.

Losing your job is hard. Feeling like it was because of your age is devastating. The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) protects workers 40 and older. Let's explore your rights.

01

Replaced by a Younger Worker

You were terminated, and your core responsibilities were given to a significantly younger, less-qualified employee, often at a lower salary.
02

Comments and “Culture Fit"

You heard comments about “new blood," "tech-savviness," or not fitting the “young, energetic" culture. Your performance reviews suddenly dropped.
03

Medical Leave Retailation

A “restructuring" or “reduction in force" disproprortionately eliminated older workers, while younger employees were kept or reassigned.

Understanding Your Rights

Navigating your rights under the ADEA can feel overwhelming, especially after a job loss. Our Free Leverage Assessment is built to clarify your situation.

Q: What is the ADEA?

A. The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) is a federal law that forbids employers from discriminating against people who are 40 or older.

Q: How do I prove age discrimination?

A. It often involves “circumstantial evidence," like biased comments, a pattern of favoring younger workers, or a sudden, unexplained drop in your performance reviews.

Your ADEA Checklist Can Help:

Are you 40 or older?
Did you receive sudden, negative performance reviews before your termination?
Did your employer make age-related comments (e.g., “slowing down," “set in your ways")?
Were you replaced by a substantially younger employee?
Were you part of a layoff that primarily impacted older workers?
