It depends on the documentation you received outlining the settlement. If you confirm this is an 'unlawful discrimination claim' you can take the legal fees as a deduction. Keep in mind as stated by @MonikaK1 -- 'The deduction you're claiming can't be more than the amount of the judgment or settlement you're including in income for the tax year.'
