The Importance of Evidence in Your EEOC Case & How to Gather and Present Strong Evidence for Your Claim

Filing a charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) can be a powerful step toward addressing workplace discrimination, harassment, or retaliation. However, the strength of your case depends largely on the quality and relevance of the evidence you provide. Whether it’s proving a pattern of unfair treatment or countering employer defenses, solid evidence is the backbone of a successful EEOC charge.

This blog highlights the essential types of evidence you need, along with tips from Ahmad Sulaiman of Atlas Consumer Law on how to make your evidence admissible and impactful.
