About Law Offices of Attorney Arnold J. Lizana III

The Law Office of Arnold J. Lizana III P.C. represents employees in workplace disputes from its Atlanta office. Attorney Lizana handles discrimination, harassment and wage theft claims, working exclusively on the employee side. He also takes civil rights cases involving municipal misconduct, police brutality and public accommodation discrimination based on race, gender or disability. As a certified mediator, he helps parties resolve disputes without the cost and delay of litigation, and he mediates equity-related disputes for the EEOC and other organizations. He has more than 25 years of experience in employment and civil rights law. Prospective clients can request a case evaluation through the site or text the firm's help line. Lizana wrote the bestselling book "Workplace Jujitsu: How to Protect Yourself from HR" and speaks at conferences on higher education law, employment law, discrimination, diversity management and EEO compliance.

Attorney Lizana spent over 10 years as a Trial Attorney with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, litigating employment discrimination cases in New England federal courts, supervising federal investigators and conducting agency outreach. He was recognized for outreach work and for negotiating multi-million dollar settlements for victims of workplace discrimination, and litigated cases that shaped sexual harassment law in the Second Circuit. Before the EEOC he clerked for Justices of the Massachusetts Trial Court, the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination and the Civil Rights Division of the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office. He later served as Associate Vice President for Diversity and Equity at UCONN Health, acting as Title IX and ADA Coordinator. He teaches as an adjunct professor and directs the Workers' Rights Project at Atlanta's John Marshall Law School. He earned his B.A. at UMass Amherst and his J.D. at Suffolk University Law School. He is the great-grandson of T.J. Huddleston Sr., who built the first Black hospital in Mississippi and founded the Afro-American Sons and Daughters Grand Lodge.
