Quinn Patton Won a Lawsuit Against the Department of Defense; Judge Orders a Six-Figure Judgement

Baltimore, MD., April 8, 2024  Quinn Patton won a lawsuit against the Department of Defense on behalf of its client. The judge ordered a six-figure disability retaliation judgment against the U.S. Department of the Army (Department of Defense). Partner Katherine Patton, Esq., represented a civilian Army employee in the EEOC after the Army refused to provide a disability accomodation, then proceeded to discipline and then terminate their employment. After a contentious hearing, an EEOC Administrative Judge ruled in favor of Quinn Patton’s client and awarded damages.

  

Facing the seasoned and determined lawyers from the DOD, Patton built a case that the Judge called “a convincing mosaic of compelling evidence” that showed that the client had been retaliated against. The Judge found that the excuses offered for her termination by the Department were “unworthy of credence.” 


Patton said, “No employer can fire you for a discriminatory or retaliatory reason, even if you are on probation. Whatever your employment status, federal employees do have a path to justice when they face this kind of mistreatment.” 

 

Patton secured a judgment for significant backpay, compensatory damages, and the client’s attorney’s fees repaid. The client’s personnel record will be cleared of all retaliatory discipline. Former managers, whose testimony the AJ called “not credible,” will be required to attend extensive EEO training and may face discipline themselves.

 

Patton added, “My client was an incredible advocate for her own civil rights, and I was proud to fight with her. If you’re facing discrimination or retaliation at your job, don’t be afraid to stand up for your civil rights and find the right people to fight with you.” Call Quinn Patton, LC at 443-247-5444 to schedule a free, initial consultation.
