I've Been Fired. Now What?
Termination from a job can be a devastating event in which an employee may suffer many losses. Income, financial security and professional reputation may be lost.

However, as a law firm that fights against discrimination, I must speak out against the casual labeling of Mexican-Americans as having tendencies towards criminal conduct, by one presidential candidate.
