Cordero v. City of Kissimmee, Case No. 6:08-cv-2118 (M.D. Fla., J. Conway).  Co-Counsel:  David Chonin.

After challenging an English-only policy in the workplace, Brandon Cordero, an employee with the City of Kissimmee, received poor work evaluations and was fired.  Cordero filed a formal charge with the EEOC.  He received a letter of determination from the EEOC finding reasonable cause to believe that the City discriminated against him in violation of Title VII and a right to sue letter was issued.  A mediated settlement agreement was reached and provided damages for Cordero.
