EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION
Despite strict anti-employment discrimination laws that have been put in place to protect workers, some employers are still terminating and mistreating employees based on their race, color, nationality, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, or disability. Such discrimination is illegal and is punishable by law. Any employee who has been discriminated against may be able to recover compensatory and punitive damages, and force his employer to comply with anti-discrimination laws.

We represent employees and our practice focuses on the negotiation and litigation of sexual harassment, discrimination and wrongful termination claims.

Dedicated Aggressive Representation
When we represent people who have experienced discrimination, we evaluate each aspect of the case in order to determine how we can get the best results. We make certain that the employee has filed the appropriate complaints with the EEOC and DFEH and then perform our own investigation to determine what happened. Our goal is to help you resolve the dispute as quickly and satisfactorily as possible, using negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or litigation. While many cases are settled without our clients ever having to go to attend a trial in court, there are times which trial is the only solution to right the wrong. Our firm has the resources and resolve needed to see your case through trial.
Illegal employer discrimination can occur in relation to a number of different factors, often referred to as protected classes. Some of the types of discrimination cases we handle include:
. Racial Discrimination
. Sex/Gender Discrimination
o Sexual Discrimination against women or men
o Sexual Harassment
. National Origin Discrimination
. Religious Discrimination
. Age Discrimination (ADEA)
. Pregnancy Discrimination
. Disability Discrimination (ADA)
o Discrimination based on workplace injuries or mental health matters
o perceived disabilities, such as HIV status or AIDS
Employers cannot discriminate against employees are the basis of age, race, sex, national origin, disability, and a variety of other reasons. Employers cannot discriminate against an employee because he or she has "whistle blown" which is reporting illegal activity of the employer. They also cannot discriminate against an employee for engaging in other protected activities, such as filing workers' compensation claims.
If an employer fires an employee because of one of these factors, that is against the law, and the employee can sue.
