Do You Want To File Discrimination Complaint Against Your Employer?
Contact Us Now! We Advocate For Your Rights.
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).
California law prohibits discrimination in the workplace based on several protected characteristics. Some examples include:
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. Moreover, we have also helped secure hefty settlements for individuals facing ageism after their expertise was unfairly dismissed.
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.
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.

It’s important to file your discrimination complaint within one year of the unfair treatment unless it falls under specific situations:
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.
Contact the best discrimination lawyers in CA and take the first step towards securing the rights you deserve in the face of discrimination.
Results may vary depending on your particular facts and legal circumstances.
