The firm’s team of workplace discrimination lawyers aggressively pursues cases involving illegal treatment based on race, religion, national origin, pregnancy and other protected characteristics under California law.

How Do I Know If I’ve Been Illegally Discriminated Against At Work?
Illegal discrimination occurs when employers make employment decisions based on protected characteristics such as race, gender, age, religion, disability or pregnancy status. Signs include unequal treatment compared to similarly situated workers, exclusion from opportunities, inappropriate comments about protected characteristics or sudden policy changes targeting specific groups.
What Compensation Can I Recover In An Employment Lawsuit?
Select individuals may recover various damages, including back pay, front pay, emotional distress compensation, punitive damages and attorney fees. Specific recovery depends on case circumstances, but successful employment lawsuits can provide significant financial relief and help workers rebuild their careers.
How Long Do I Have To File An Employment Claim After Experiencing Workplace Harassment?
California employment claims have strict deadlines that vary by claim type. Discrimination and harassment claims typically require filing with the Department of Fair Employment and Housing within three years, while wage claims may have different timeframes. Consulting an employee rights attorney promptly helps preserve your legal rights.
