Discrimination
Whether you are an employee who has suffered employment discrimination and is seeking recovery or an employer who has been wrongfully accused of discriminatory practices and is being sued, the experience can be difficult, stressful, and emotional.
At the law firm of Howard Law, PC we are committed to defending all aspects of discrimination in the workplace and upholding federal and state employment, anti-discrimination, and civil rights laws. We aggressively fight for the rights of employees who have suffered discriminatory practices, members of class action suits who have been discriminated against, and employers who have been wrongfully accused of discrimination.
Our California Labor and Employment Attorneys have extensive experience assisting clients with many forms of discrimination, including:
- Age discrimination
- Gender-based discrimination including promotion and equal pay
- Discrimination based on sexual orientation
- Pregnancy discrimination
- National origin discrimination
- Racial discrimination
- Discrimination based on religion
- Disability discrimination
- Genetic discrimination
- Wrongful termination
According to California and federal law, it is illegal to discriminate in any aspect of employment, including hiring and firing, compensation, promotion, pay, and disability, or to discriminate against employees on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, or sex. Employers must also under law provide reasonable accommodations to disabled employees.
Our highly skilled employment attorneys are well versed in the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), and the Equal Pay Act, among other laws, and excel in counseling employees and employers alike on how to understand and comply with these laws to reduce the risk of employment litigation in the future—building a workplace that is protected from discriminatory practices.
