Legal Question in Elder Law in Massachusetts
Laid off at 61 years old...
I got laid off in April along with 3 others all over 54 years old. I was a supervisor making 62,000/yr. My job is still there with a much younger person making 1/2 of my pay. Can I find relief here under the law?

Re: Laid off at 61 years old...
You may have a claim. Should contact an attorney to help you investigate whether there is a valid age discrimination claim against your former employer. There is a very short statute of limitations, whereby you must file your claim with the MCAD.
Re: Laid off at 61 years old...
You may have a very good case for age discrimination both under federal and state law.
I suggest you contact an employment attorney who handles this type of litigation. While I am an experienced employment attorney, I have colleagues who handle these types of matters as plaintiffs counsel on a regular basis.
Please feel free to contact me if you have questions.
