In a landmark decision, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled today that Title VII protects LGBTQ workers from discrimination! This is a huge win and clears the way for LGBTQ workers to obtain remedies for employers' unlawful conduct. We are celebrating this ruling not only as employment lawyers, but as HUMANS! #LGBTQ #SCOTUS

Van Kampen Law, PC updated their business hours.
⚖️ We have filed a law suit against Central Piedmont Community College on behalf of Dr. Maha Gingrich.
⚖️ Dr. Gingrich was a dedicated employee; not only to the college, but to her many students. Yet she, and many others, were systematically released from their duties.
⚖️ We would like to give a special thanks to David Hodges at WBTV for sharing this story with the community.
⚖️ If you have a similar story please reach out.
⚖️ If you would like to read the full article and watch the interviews with Josh Van Kampen and Dr. Maha Gingrich, click the link below!

⚖️ This beloved nun was let go from Charlotte Catholic High School in Charlotte, North Carolina
⚖️ A student, Andrew O’Brien, started this petition in an effort to reinstate her - it has not only received over 3,000 signatures, but has done so in less than 13 hours
⚖️ If this does not show how loved Sister Agnes, by not only her students but the community, nothing will. She not only deserves an explanation (which she did not receive) but deserves her job back so she can continuing inspiring students for years to come!
⚖️ This kind of unjust treatment is exactly what we stand to fight at Van Kampen Law. Sign this petition, share it, and help us support the thousands of students who want their beloved teacher back.
