Fired Unfairly? An Oklahoma EEOC Lawyer Can Help You Fight Back
If you were let go and something about it just felt wrong, trust that gut feeling. Maybe your boss made weird comments about your age. Maybe you spoke up about harassment and found yourself out of a job. Or maybe you announced your pregnancy, and — instead of receiving support and congratulations — your hours got cut, your responsibilities vanished, and then came the bad news.
Sound familiar? You’re not alone, and you certainly don’t have to take it.
Our team at Punchwork Law is here to help Oklahomans stand up to workplace injustice every day. As your trusted Oklahoma EEOC attorney, we’ll help you figure out whether your firing broke the law. And if it did, we’ll fight like hell to make it right.
Give us a call today and let’s talk about how we can take your power back.

- If you’ve been fired, demoted, or harassed for something like your age, gender, race, pregnancy, or a disability, you might have a case.
- The EEOC process has multiple steps, deadlines, and paperwork. We’ll help you handle all of it.
- An Oklahoma Discrimination Lawyer can help you fight employment discrimination cases to make sure your employer is held accountable.
- Your employment rights are protected by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and other legislation.
What Employment Law Issues Does an Oklahoma EEOC Attorney Handle?
Whether you’ve been passed over for a promotion, wrongfully fired, or treated unfairly at work because of who you are, you’re protected by both state and federal law. That includes discrimination based on race, religion, gender, age, disability, pregnancy, sexual orientation, or other protected traits.
If your job becomes a hostile place because of bias or retaliation, our Oklahoma EEOC law firm is here to step in, speak up, and stand by your side every step of the way.
Our labor and employment attorneys can help you navigate all kinds of workplace issues tied to discrimination and retaliation. Here’s just a snapshot of what we handle:
Wrongful Termination
Fired for reasons that just don’t sit right? If you were let go after reporting misconduct, taking medical leave, or even getting pregnant, your firing might not be legal. We’ll help you dig into the facts and hold your employer accountable if they crossed the line.

Workplace Discrimination and Harassment
Discrimination can look like offhand comments, being left out of important meetings, or always being the one overlooked for promotions. Harassment? That can be verbal, physical, or just plain toxic. If you’ve been mistreated because of your race, religion, gender, age, or national origin, we’re ready to fight for you.
Retaliation
The law protects you when you do the right thing. Whether you reported sexual harassment, filed a safety complaint, or helped a coworker speak up for themselves, your employer can’t legally punish you for it. If they did, that’s retaliation. And we won’t let it slide.
Unequal Pay or Promotions
If your paycheck doesn’t match your coworkers’ — and you’re doing the exact same job — that’s a serious problem. The same goes for getting passed over again and again while less qualified folks continue to get promoted. You deserve fairness across the board, not favoritism.
Failure to Accommodate
Ever felt bad for requesting a break, a schedule change, or even just a place to sit?
If you asked for (and genuinely needed) help and your boss shrugged it off, that could be a violation of your rights. Oklahoma EEOC law requires employers to make reasonable accommodations for medical issues, disabilities, and pregnancy. When they don’t, we step in.
The EEOC Process Explained
Filing a complaint with the EEOC might feel intimidating, but we’re here to guide you at each step. Here’s how the process typically works in Oklahoma:
- File a Charge – You (or your lawyer) file a “Charge of Discrimination” with the EEOC. It must be filed within a short time after the incident (often about 180 days). Our law office makes sure it’s done right and on time.
- EEOC Investigation – The EEOC notifies your employer and investigates your claim. They may ask questions or even suggest mediation. We handle all communication during this stage and keep you in the loop.
- Right to Sue – After assessing the case, the EEOC usually issues a “Right to Sue” letter. It’s basically your ticket to take your employer to court if necessary.
- Lawsuit – With a Right to Sue letter, you can file a lawsuit in court. In the event this happens, we will prepare your case and fight for you. Many cases settle before trial, but if not, we’ll go to court to seek justice. You may end up winning back pay, job reinstatement, or other types of compensation.
Why It’s Important to Hire an Oklahoma EEOC Lawyer
You don’t go into a fight like this without backup, especially when your job, paycheck, and reputation are on the line. The EEOC process can certainly be confusing, and employers (and their lawyers) know how to twist things around. That’s where we step in.
A solid Oklahoma EEOC attorney guarantees your complaint hits all the right marks, your story gets told the right way, and deadlines don’t sneak up on you. We handle the stress, paperwork, and legal back-and-forth so you don’t have to.
And if you win? It’s not just a pat on the back. We’re talking real results:
- Back pay for the checks you missed
- Compensation for the emotional toll
- Your job back
- A payout for future wages
- And more
Some cases lead to company-wide policy changes, so no one else has to endure what you did.
Bottom line: This isn’t just about making noise. It’s about making things right.
