Workplace Discrimination Attorney Orange County

California law prohibits employers from discriminating against employees based on protected characteristics. If you have been treated differently, passed over for promotion, demoted, or terminated because of who you are, you may have a viable discrimination claim under the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA).

​

What Is Workplace Discrimination?
Discrimination occurs when an employer takes an adverse employment action against an employee based on a protected characteristic. Protected characteristics under FEHA include race, color, national origin, ancestry, gender, age (40 and over), disability, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, and pregnancy.

​

Common Forms of Discrimination
Workplace discrimination takes many forms including wrongful termination, demotion, failure to promote, unequal pay, hostile work environment, and denial of reasonable accommodation for a disability or religious practice.

​

What You May Be Entitled To
If your employer discriminated against you, you may be entitled to recover lost wages and future earnings, emotional distress damages, punitive damages in cases of malicious conduct, and attorney's fees and costs.
