The Law Offices Of Cummings & Franck, P.C Wins A 1.6 Million
Dollar Jury Verdict In Racial Discrimination And
Wrongful-Termination Suit
Committed to raise its clients’ voice against employment discrimination and
wrongful termination, the Law Offices of Cummings & Franck, P.C just recently
won a $1.6 million jury verdict in damages for an ex-Roscoe's Chicken N' Waffles
employee.
When employers break the law and do not maintain their workplace free from
unwanted unlawful discrimination and harassment, an employee can sue for the
damages that are caused to them by the unlawful workplace. Last week the Law
Offices of Cummings & Franck, P.C., a leading Californian employment law firm,
won their client a $1.6 million jury verdict against Roscoe's Chicken N' Waffles.
The jury found that the former employee of Roscoe’s Chicken N’ Waffles was
unlawfully harassed based upon his race, sex, or both, and also that he was
terminated because of his race, and because of his complaints about racial
discrimination, racial harassment, or sexual harassment, which was occurring in
the workplace.
Providing brief insight into this particular racial discrimination and wrongful
termination suit, a senior attorney at the Law Offices of Cummings & Franck, P.C
commented, “Just recently, we, at the Law Offices of Cummings & Franck, P.C,
prevailed in a lawsuit against Roscoe’s House of Chicken N’ Waffles for unlawfully
harassing and discriminating against one of its former employees, Daniel Beasley.
Scott Cummings and Lee Franck, who tried the case were able to convince a jury
that Mr. Beasley was terminated do to his race, even though Roscoe’s Chicken N’
Waffles is an African American-owned business. Furthermore, Mr. Cummings
and Mr. Franck were able to convince the jury to award Mr. Beasley $1.6 million in
damages.”
The Plaintiff Daniel Beasley is African American. Mr. Beasley alleged that
Hispanic employees were being given privileges that black employees were not
getting. Mr. Beasley also alleged that employees in the workplace were using
racial slurs and epithets, which created a hostile work environment based upon
race. Mr. Beasley alleges that he complained to the HR department and the
company’s African American owner, but nothing was done to stop the unlawful
working conditions. Mr. Beasley alleges that his complaints resulted in him being
terminated. When Mr. Beasley contacted the attorneys at the Law Offices of
Cummings & Franck, P.C, they were able to find witnesses and evidence, so that
Mr. Beasley’s case could be proven to a jury. At the trial the jury found for Mr.
Beasley on all his claims against Roscoe’s House of Chicken N’ Waffles, and all
found he was damaged because of lost wages, and severe emotional distress.
The senior attorney stated further, “The trial lasted three weeks, but we were
always on the offensive. Roscoe’s Chicken N’ Waffles attempted to convince the
jury that none of Mr. Beasley’s claims had merit, but in the end the jury believed
Mr. Beasley. We were happy that we could help Mr. Beasley find justice. Mr.
Beasley’s case involved issues of race discrimination and harassment, which we
at Cummings & Franck, P.C. believe must be stopped wherever it exists. Despite
the reputation of the LA’s legendary food spot, frequented by celebrities like
Snoop Dog, Larry King and even the President of the United States, we, at the
Law Offices of Cummings & Franck, P.C believed in the strength of our case, and
eventually, won the suit for our client.”

discrimination, retaliation, harassment, and wrongful termination. Many of the
employment law firm’s cases involve discrimination and harassment based upon
sex, race, disability, gender, national origin, sexual orientations, mental or physical
