Employment Discrimination Attorney

Although people certainly do not live solely to work, most people must work to live and support their families. What we do for a living often defines who we are. Victims of job discrimination too often suffer in silence because of their fear of retaliation if they were to speak out. This makes their courage in coming forward all the more remarkable. Our lawyers give their all to reward that courage through legal action

Opposing All Forms of Employment Discrimination

Age Discrimination Attorney

Age discrimination is practiced, masked and poorly justified every day by various employers across California and the nation. Dedicated professionals and laborers are wrongfully terminated, held back and denied the security and opportunities they deserve because of something none among us can prevent: the passing of time.

Have You Been Wrongfully Terminated or Mistreated as an Older Worker?

Have you been referred to as a workplace "dinosaur" or unjustly criticized for a lack of prowess with newer technologies? Were you replaced by someone younger and less qualified for your position? Was the need for "young blood" cited when you questioned employment decisions?

It is illegal for employers to replace workers over 40 with less qualified younger workers. It is illegal to use age as a deciding factor in who gets let go when a company or public entity determines that a layoff is necessary. If you have been targeted or mistreated because of your age, we want to hear about it and help you understand and exercise your legal rights.

Are You a Victim of Economic Circumstances or Illegal Discrimination?

Although age discrimination has long been pervasive in some industries and sectors, an aging population and persistently adverse economy appear to have made it even more prevalent in recent years. Put simply, younger workers may be able to work for less money and may require less employee-paid health care. However, this does not justify unlawful employment decisions or violations of older workers' rights.

Have You Been Denied Family Leave or Suffered Retaliation for Taking It?

Actionable violations of laws governing family and medical leaves take many forms, including:

Denial of a person's right to an unpaid or partially paid leave for the birth or adoption of a child, his or her own serious health condition or that of an immediate family member
Termination or the threat of other employment retaliation for taking a qualified leave

Discuss Your Pregnancy Case Free with a Leading Employment and Civil Rights Attorney

If you believe you were denied advancement or terminated because you became pregnant and had a pregnancy-related disability, we want to hear about it.

Protecting You and Your Family's Rights

We adamantly believe that discrimination or retaliation against someone for prioritizing critical family needs harms the individual, the family and the community. Employers that ignore these laws or try to circumvent them must be held accountable — and we know how to attack their attempts to cite business needs or technicalities they may claim set their treatment of you outside the law.

No worker should be denied a reasonable level of accommodation for their family obligations. The level of protection our laws provide may depend on many circumstances of your case, but we encourage you to put those considerations in our hands.

Whistleblower Attorney

People who speak out to report illegal activities should be given rewards and thanks by their employers. Unfortunately, they often receive the opposite, facing workplace harassment, undesired transfers, or outright termination.

Employers do not have infinite power over workers in these situations — although many act as if they do. If you have suffered retaliation because you told the truth about prohibited personnel practices, fraud, corruption or any other illegal activity, we encourage you to turn to us for counsel.
