 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. With LLN attorneys Harry and Gerardo I never had to worry. I never had to worry about whether LLN is going get me the best settlement possible…or rollover at the first offer. Harry and Gerardo have a simple action plan. Present the case for negotiation. If that’s not respected then go to trial. After I signed up with LLN I was introduced to the entire team on a Zoom call. I was told who was responsible for what. I was told where things happen, when things happen, and how they happen. I downloaded the LLN app, and if I needed to reach anyone I simply messaged them and someone got back to me in a timely manner. I always had the option to call if necessary. What I didn’t have to deal with is a guy on a billboard telling me how cool and tough they are. The same guy that calls right away when the slightest pushback happens telling me I need to settle. LLN are trial attorneys who actually go to trial against the opposition. It seems like most other law firms only go to trial when they’re suing their own law partner. How many billboards have I driven past? How many buses with advertisement on the side? How many TV commercials telling me how “they’re gonna fight for my whatever”. It doesn’t happen… and it’s all smoke and mirrors with a majority of the attorneys out there. I believe the attorneys at LLN didn’t do this just for me. LLN operates the way they do because they have pride in their work and self-respect. They have a reputation to uphold, not only with their clients but also with their colleagues and their peers. How do I know this? Because I saw them interact with mediators and judges. I saw how they were treated by the people making the decisions. They have their respect. It’s critical to note that I had realistic expectations for my settlement. For me it was all about finding the sweet spot. The trade-off between a long trial and a verdict, or taking what quite possibly is just as close an offer and settling much earlier while minimizing risk. Once I made a decision I did not look back. The attorneys at LLN are realistic. They stated ‘this is what we have’ , ‘this is what we don’t have’, and ‘this is what we might be able to achieve’ . I made a decision with as much informed consent as possible. I can live with that.

Los Angeles Workplace Discrimination Lawyer

Representing Victims of Workplace Discrimination

Discrimination should never be tolerated in the workplace, but unfortunately, it does happen. In many situations, you might have your rights as an employee infringed upon because your employer makes a decision based on age, race, gender, or any other protected classification.

At LNN, our employment attorneys could be the voice you need to stand up to your employer for the wrongs done against you. Contact our Los Angeles workplace discrimination lawyers today!

Client Success: $1,900,000 Settlement for Employee Discriminated Against Based on Disability

What are the protected classes under California discrimination laws?

In California, employees are protected against discrimination by both state and federal law. These laws include the Fair Employment Housing Act (FEHA), the California Family Rights Act (CFRA), and the New Parent Leave Act (NPLA).

California’s protected classes include:

Age (over 40)
Ancestry/national origin
Citizenship
Color
Disability (physical or mental)
Gender identity/expression
Genetic information
Marital status
Medical condition
Military or veteran status
Pregnancy
Race
Religion/creed
Sex/gender
Sexual orientation

Discrimination can take many forms in the workplace, and it can also occur subtly or over a period of time. For example, an employee over the age of 40 may be passed over for a promotion in favor of a colleague who is younger and less experienced solely due to age-based assumptions or preferences. In another case, a qualified employee who wears a religious crucifix necklace or a hijab may face harassment or be excluded from team collaboration because of their open expression of faith. Both of these examples demonstrate unlawful actions that were based on protected characteristics (age and religion, respectively).

Have you been discriminated against in your workplace? Do you not feel safe or have you been caused a great deal of stress? The attorneys at LNN can help. Whether your employer, supervisor, or coworker discriminates against you, our Los Angeles discrimination attorneys can help.

Building a Case for Workplace Discrimination

It requires more than simply stating that a person was treated unfairly to successfully prove workplace discrimination. To build a strong case, it is important to collect and organize evidence that supports an individual’s claims, such as:

Written documentation, like emails, performance reviews, memos, text messages, or any written communication that might demonstrate discriminatory behavior
Copies of employment records with documentation of disciplinary actions, promotions, demotions, and changes in job duties.
Statements from coworkers who witnessed the discrimination
Copies of formal complaints an individual made to HR or management, along with any response

People who have experienced workplace discrimination have three years to file a formal complaint with California’s Civil Rights Department (CRD) from the date of the discriminatory act. This is one reason why it is so critical to document everything well and act quickly, as it can make a difference in how your case turns out.

If you are not sure whether your experience qualifies as discrimination, our knowledgeable attorneys in Los Angeles could help offer clarity and guidance on next steps.

Retaliation for Reporting Discrimination

Employees who speak up about workplace discrimination are protected from retaliation under Government Code Section 12940, which makes it unlawful for an employer to punish a worker for opposing discriminatory practices or participating in a discrimination investigation. Retaliation can take many forms, and it is not always as obvious as a termination. A sudden drop in performance reviews, an unexplained demotion, a schedule change to less desirable hours, or exclusion from meetings and projects following a complaint may all signal that an employer is punishing you for asserting your rights.

Retaliation claims often accompany the underlying discrimination claim, and California law allows workers to pursue both at the same time. If you reported discrimination to human resources, a supervisor, or a government agency and your treatment at work changed for the worse afterward, our Los Angeles workplace discrimination attorney could evaluate the timing and circumstances of your case to determine whether retaliation occurred and what remedies may be available to you.

How an Attorney Can Help

Facing discrimination at work can be stressful and frustrating. When a victim’s livelihood is at stake, it is essential to hire an experienced workplace discrimination attorney in Los Angeles who is committed to protecting their rights.

Our team at LNN could assist in various ways. First, we will evaluate your case by listening to your story and reviewing the facts. We could determine whether you have a viable legal claim under either California or federal law. An attorney could also help you prepare and file a formal complaint with the proper government agency. Complaints may be filed with the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or California’s Civil Rights Department (CRD).

Discrimination claims are often resolved through mediation or negotiation. Our lawyers will fight for just compensation. We could help you work toward reinstatement, back pay, and other remedies. If the case proceeds to court, our team will be ready to advocate for your rights. We are seasoned trial attorneys who are not afraid to take your case to trial if that is what it takes to hold your employer accountable.

Compensation Available in a Los Angeles Discrimination Case

The amount and type of compensation available in a workplace discrimination case depends on the facts of each situation. Employees who succeed in a discrimination claim may recover lost wages and benefits dating back to the discriminatory act, along with front pay when returning to the same position or employer is no longer realistic. Emotional distress damages could also be available to compensate for the anxiety, humiliation, or loss of enjoyment of life that often follows mistreatment on the job.

In cases where an employer’s conduct was especially harmful or intentional, punitive damages may be available under California law to punish the employer and discourage similar conduct going forward. Employees who prevail may also recover attorney’s fees and litigation costs, which allows workers to pursue a claim without carrying the financial burden alone. A Los Angeles workplace discrimination attorney at LNN could review your losses and pursue every form of compensation available to you under FEHA and applicable federal law, including remedies tied to lost seniority or benefits.

All California workers deserve a workplace that is free from discrimination. Our legal team at LNN believes in standing up for employees who have been treated poorly. We could walk you through each step in the legal process, from the beginning of building a case through pursuing a trial if necessary.

Types of Workplace Discrimination

All employees should be treated equally or rewarded based on merit and achievement, and nothing else. There are even laws put in place to protect employees from being discriminated against based on protected characteristics. Unfortunately, this is often not enough to maintain a safe working environment.

Discrimination is illegal based on the following categories:

Age
Pregnancy
Race
Religion
Gender
Disability
Sexual orientation

If you find yourself unable to perform your job duties due to the discrimination you have faced, a lawyer in Los Angeles may be able to help you seek restitution.

What does discrimination in the workplace look like?

Knowing the common situations in which discrimination can occur can help you recognize your rights as an employee. Here are just a few of the situations you might encounter that count as discrimination:

Hiring and Firing Decisions

When you’re looking for a job or you find yourself in a position where your job is on the line, you expect that your skill and performance are the main criteria to protect your employment. Unfortunately, some employers make decisions based off characteristics like race or gender. If you are passed over for a job or you are terminated based on your gender, race, age, sexual orientation, or other protected class, you have legal rights.

Refusing to Give Promotion or Raise

Unfortunately, employers can make decisions regarding promotions and raises based on age or gender. For instance, if you don’t receive a promotion because you are younger than someone else, but your skills and performance warrant the promotion, this situation can be discrimination.

Poor Working Conditions

Discrimination laws prevent employers from making decisions based on your medical condition or other characteristics. If your employer puts you in a difficult working condition in an effort to make it more problematic for you, they are discriminating against you for an unjustified reason.

Sexual Harassment

Sexual harassment in the workplace is a form of discrimination. Common forms of sexual harassment include inappropriate touching, making sexual comments, repeatedly asking for dates after being turned down, and other behaviors that create a hostile work environment for an employee.

Know that there are laws in place to prevent you from experiencing discrimination in the workplace. If your employer does anything without proper warrant, you have options to file a discrimination complaint against the responsible party with the help of an attorney in Los Angeles.

When to Contact a Lawyer

It is not always easy to know whether a difficult situation at work rises to the level of unlawful discrimination, but a few warning signs suggest it may be time to speak with an attorney. You may want to reach out if a supervisor or coworker makes repeated comments about your age, race, disability, or other protected characteristic, if you were denied a reasonable accommodation for a disability or pregnancy-related condition, if you were passed over for a promotion given to a less qualified coworker outside your protected class, or if your treatment at work noticeably changed after you complained to human resources.

Acting quickly matters. Employees generally have three years to file a complaint with California’s Civil Rights Department, but a charge filed with the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission must typically be submitted within 300 days of the discriminatory act, since California maintains its own fair employment agency. Waiting too long to consult an attorney can limit the remedies available to you, so it is best to reach out as soon as you suspect your rights have been violated.

Our Los Angeles workplace discrimination attorney at LNN offers a free consultation from either of our Los Angeles offices, located in Studio City and downtown Los Angeles, to help you understand whether you have a claim and what your next steps could look like.

More on Employment Law

Why Should I Hire an Employment Lawyer?

Employment issues can often be difficult to come across, especially if there are serious obstacles to overcome such as harassment or discrimination. Fortunately, there are laws that are there to help protect employees in the workplace. It is important that you hire an attorney to help you better understand your rights and your remedies if you have been the victim of a workplace dispute.

Know the Law & What is Illegal

Some individuals fail to take action against employers simply because they don’t know they’re a victim of a volatile workplace or that they have legal options. By speaking with a lawyer and discussing your situation, you can better understand what actions are illegal, what you can do to seek justice, and who is responsible. Then you can understand what you may be entitled to and what else can be done to help get you the compensation you deserve.

Protection From the Defense

Keep in mind, your employer or whoever is responsible for the workplace harassment or discrimination will most likely have a strong legal team looking out for their best interests. This means you also need strong legal counsel. A lawyer will be there to present the necessary evidence and help you navigate the legal system without concern. An attorney can help you fill out the proper paperwork, meet deadlines, and work towards a favorable resolution. Our Los Angeles employee rights attorneys at LNN are committed to the rights of employees who have been the victim of workplace discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination, wage and hour disputes, and more.

Featured Areas of Practice

Our Los Angeles employment law attorneys have over a decade of experience helping protect employee rights in California. We believe that companies must be held accountable for violating state or federal laws designed to protect employees from wrongdoing. At LNN, we handle the following kinds of employment law claims:

Class Actions
Harassment
Wage & Hour Disputes
Discrimination
Sexual Harassment
Wrongful Termination

If you believe that you were mistreated or abused at work, you might be entitled to compensation. It is important to discuss your case with a Los Angeles employment law attorney as early as possible in order to achieve the best possible outcome in your case.

Why Hire a Los Angeles Employment Law Attorney

A Los Angeles employment law attorney can help you get compensation if you were mistreated, harassed, or discriminated against at work. Without the help of an attorney, you may not get the recovery you deserve, despite the fact that your company violated state or federal law. Employment law is complicated and follows strict legal procedures. Failure to comply with these guidelines may result in your claim being denied or dismissed. An attorney can help ensure that you meet all statutory requirements and file the appropriate legal documents. It is important to note that you only have a limited amount of time to file, so the earlier you consult an attorney, the more likely your case will be heard.

When to Hire an Attorney

It is never too early to consult with an attorney, but it can be too late. The earlier in the process you retain legal representation, the better. Filing a claim beyond the statute of limitations may result in your case being dismissed or may bar your right to recovery.

How We Can Help

When employees are discriminated against, harassed, or mistreated, they deserve an advocate. They deserve someone who will fight to protect their rights and hold wrongdoers accountable. At LNN, our Los Angeles employment law attorneys aggressively defend the rights of workers, never resting until justice is served. Companies big and small often take advantage of employees, failing to pay them sufficient wages or creating an unsafe, hostile work environment. We believe that workers deserve better. Our firm is dedicated to helping those that have suffered at the hands of their employers.

Proven Results for Our Clients

We believe that employees deserve to be treated fairly; anything less is unacceptable and unlawful. When there has been a violation of state or federal law, our Los Angeles employment law attorneys do not give up. We have obtained multiple seven-figure settlements and verdicts on behalf of our clients, including a $10 million jury verdict for a victim of workplace sexual harassment. If your employer has engaged in any form of harassment, discrimination, or abuse, you should not wait. Get the legal help you need now.

Take Legal Action & Protect Your Rights With the Help of a Los Angeles Workplace Discrimination Attorney

At LNN, we believe your workplace should be a place you can thrive, do your job, and, if possible, move up in rank. If your workplace has become hostile or you believe you have been fired based on discrimination, you may want to take legal action against your employer.
