Brian Hong

Brian Hong is an attorney with EEOC. The attorney is also a member of the Washington Employment Lawyers Association (WELA), an association of employment lawyers whose stated mission is to enforce and advance employee rights. In addition, the WELA member directory lists the attorney under Civil Rights, Mediation, Workplace Harassment, Employment Discrimination, Federal Employees and Public Employment.

Before you hire any lawyer, however, it is a good idea to confirm the license yourself. For example, you can look the attorney up in the Washington State Bar Association's online lawyer directory, which shows whether a lawyer is licensed and in good standing. Because we built this profile from public directory information, some details may also be out of date, so confirm anything important directly with the office.

Practice areas listed for Brian Hong

The notes below explain each area of law in general terms. In other words, they describe the law itself, not this attorney's cases or results.

Civil Rights. In general, this area covers claims that a government official or another party violated rights protected by the Constitution or by statute. People often bring claims against state and local officials under 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

Mediation. In general, this area covers a process in which a neutral mediator helps the parties try to settle a dispute without a trial. The mediator does not decide the case.

Workplace Harassment. In general, this area covers unwelcome conduct based on a protected characteristic that is severe or pervasive enough to create a hostile work environment, and demands that tie job benefits to sexual favors.

Employment Discrimination. In general, this area covers treating an employee or job applicant differently because of a protected characteristic such as race, sex, age or disability. Federal law (for example Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964) and the Washington Law Against Discrimination (RCW 49.60) prohibit it.

Federal Employees. In general, this area covers workplace claims of people who work for the federal government. These usually start in the agency's EEO process or before the Merit Systems Protection Board.
