We're the Best Discrimination Lawyers in California!

Employees, former employees and job applicants who have experienced workplace retaliation or discrimination can file legal complaints against their employers in California.

Don’t face financial strain and emotional turmoil due to workplace discrimination alone. Our discrimination lawyers in CA can help you file a retaliation/discrimination complaint with the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) or the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).

Common Reasons To File Discrimination Claims

California law prohibits discrimination in the workplace based on several protected characteristics. Some examples include:

  • Gender/Sex: Not receiving the same promotions and incentives as the opposite sex.
  • <Race: Being denied raises, not receiving promotions, and the use of racist language by the employer.
  • Age: Refusal to hire people over or under a certain age.
  • Sexual orientation: Not being promoted due to sexual orientation and the use of derogatory terms.
  • Pregnancy: Firing a pregnant employee, denial of maternity leave, demotion, etc.
  • Disability: This includes no accommodation for disabilities or using ableist language.
  • Marital Status: Receiving a lower salary compared to unmarried employees.
  • Religion: Treated unfairly due to your religion or beliefs.

At BLF Network, we have handled many discrimination cases for our clients. Our discrimination lawyers in California have represented talented individuals passed over for promotions due to subtle gender bias. We have fought for new mothers forced to take unpaid maternity leave.

How To File a Discrimination Claim in California?

If you believe you’ve experienced workplace discrimination in California, the first step is identifying the appropriate agency, the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH).

Contact the DFEH to initiate the online or in-person process and file a formal complaint, including details such as the name, address, and telephone number of the individual facing discrimination and information about the employer being accused.

Following the complaint, the DFEH may investigate the case, potentially offering mediation services. A Right-to-Sue notice may be issued upon completion, granting permission to pursue legal action if a resolution isn’t reached.

Individuals can file a complaint to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) if the discrimination involves federal laws. The EEOC deals with unfair treatment in workplaces across the entire United States.

Why You Should Hire A Discrimination Lawyer?

Filing discrimination claims yourself can be confusing. We carefully investigate your situation to file with the right agency, DFEH or EEOC. We can also handle cross-filling with both agencies on your behalf.

Our discrimination attorneys in CA guide you through every step, from negotiations and mediation to potential litigation, always putting your best interests first. We will gather witness accounts on your behalf, pursue individuals who have taken part in discriminative acts, and gather all the evidence needed to file your claim.

Timeframe for Filing Retaliation/Discrimination Complaints

It’s important to file your discrimination complaint within one year of the unfair treatment unless it falls under specific situations:

  • Whistleblower Cases: If you faced retaliation for reporting child daycare licensing violations, you have a shorter window of 90 days.
  • Equal Pay Act Violations: For issues related to the Equal Pay Act, you have two years (or three years if it was done on purpose) to file your complaint.

If the time limit is missed, you might still have the option to file a private lawsuit instead of a complaint.

We at BLF Network believe that legal fees shouldn’t add to the burden of discrimination. That’s why we take cases on a contingency fee basis, so you will only have to pay once you receive compensation.

Whether you’re dealing with discriminatory termination, unequal treatment, or discrimination based on factors like race, gender, or disability, our attorneys are committed to fighting for your rights with discretion.
