If you were treated unfairly at work because of your race, ethnicity, or national origin, California law is on your side. We help employees fight back against unlawful treatment and pursue full compensation.
Both California law and federal civil rights laws protect employees from racial discrimination at work. Under the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, it is illegal for employers to treat workers differently because of their race, ethnicity, skin color, or national origin.
Racial discrimination can appear in many forms, including:
Many cases involve patterns of unequal treatment rather than a single act. If you’ve noticed that your employer holds certain workers to different standards or overlooks your achievements due to race or background, that may be grounds for legal action.
We help clients document these patterns, understand their rights, and file claims that hold employers accountable. We represent workers in both individual cases and group claims when multiple employees are affected.
Racial discrimination can affect every part of your career from income and advancement to emotional wellbeing. Our firm is committed to helping California workers challenge this unlawful behavior and pursue justice.
