Plaintiff-side advocacy for victims of discrimination, harassment, sexual assault, and retaliation. We relentlessly pursue victory against powerful institutions through trial-ready preparation.
Stanton Law DC represents people, not corporations. Josh Stanton is a plaintiff-side employment lawyer who represents victims of discrimination, harassment, sexual assault, and retaliation, in the workplace and beyond. Whether you were wronged by an employer, a powerful institution, or the government, the firm brings the same trial-hardened intensity to your case that it brings to the courtroom.
A successful civil claim begins long before a settlement is reached or a jury is seated. Stanton Law DC builds every case from day one as though it will go to trial — because that preparation is precisely what compels favorable results. Defendants often settle when they believe the other side is ready, able, and willing to fight. And when they don't, Stanton Law DC is ready to take the case to a verdict.
