Jeffrey Downs, the gay attorney who sued personal injury firms Anapol Schwartz and Raynes McCarty in Philadelphia trial court last March for allegedly scuttling his lateral move based on discrimination complaints he made, has filed a new suit in federal court against the firms and several of their attorneys under the Philadelphia Fair Practices Ordinance, alleging discrimination based on his sexual orientation.
The new suit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania on Jan. 27.
