Houston lawyer Carnegie Harvard Mims III has sued Geico and one of its in-house lawyers, claiming in an April 27 petition that he suffered racial discrimination, harassment and retaliation while working for seven years as a staff attorney for the car insurance giant.
Mims alleges defendants Geico and Neil Levin, the managing attorney of the Houston staff counsel office, engaged in discriminatory actions against him in violation of the Texas Commission on Human Rights Act and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
|Seeks more than $1M in damages
He seeks more than $1 million in damages from the defendants.
Among other allegations, Mims says the defendants failed to provide him with a personal secretary like other attorneys had, required him to clock in and out via email but did not require the same of other attorneys on staff, and also failed to give him merit increases, or even a merit review for four of the seven years he worked at the office.
