Unfair treatment because of your race can shake your confidence at work, and you do not have to sort it out alone. Eisenberg & Associates offers an San Jose racial discrimination attorney ready to listen. If you were overlooked, paid less, harassed, demoted, or fired because of race, color, ancestry, or national origin, we can help explain your legal rights.
Racial discrimination occurs when race, color, ancestry, or a related legally protected trait shapes how an employer hires, pays, schedules, disciplines, or promotes a worker.
Schedules and assignments shape nearly every San Jose job. Unequal treatment can hide inside those everyday choices. Some employees are steered toward weaker shifts, denied lead roles, or left out of overtime, while others with similar experience move up, and the reasons rarely seem to add up.
Bias can arise when you apply, when seasonal work returns, throughout your job, or when it ends.
Warning signs include employers who:

Eisenberg & Associates has handled employment law matters since 1996. Our attorneys represent California workers in disputes involving discrimination, retaliation, wrongful termination, wage issues, and other workplace problems. We know California's employee protections and understand how much courage it can take to speak up against an employer.
Challenging an employer can feel frightening and risky. You may worry about your schedule, income, references, or how your managers will react after you speak up. We focus on helping workers understand their rights and possible next steps. You do not need legal vocabulary to start a conversation with us. Just describe what has happened.
Our attorneys handle qualifying racial discrimination cases on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay no legal fees upfront, and you owe no legal fees unless we secure compensation for you in your case. We clearly explain the fee terms for your specific situation before representation starts.
Your experience counts. You may have been overlooked for lead roles. Coworkers may have received better shifts than you. You may have been fired after steady, reliable work. Or your treatment abruptly changed after you complained about racial comments. We take the time to hear everything and carefully examine the facts around your work situation.

A slur or openly racist statement is not always present in racial discrimination cases.
Unequal treatment, inconsistent discipline, lower pay, missed promotions, questionable decisions, or similar patterns and other evidence may also be relevant.
An attorney can go over the facts with you and explain whether a legal claim may exist.
Depending on the specific facts, you may be able to file a legal claim against your employer.
The steps and deadlines can vary widely based on the law involved and the specific kind of discrimination you experienced.
San Jose Civil Rights Department has said that, in general, workplace discrimination complaints should be filed within three years of the alleged discriminatory act, though other timelines may apply in some circumstances.
Because timing can affect your rights, it is wise to talk with an attorney about your circumstances soon.
That may support a retaliation claim, depending on the circumstances.
San Jose law protects employees against certain kinds of retaliation for exercising rights covered by FEHA.
If your treatment changed after you complained, write the date, what you reported, who received it, and what happened next. Share those details with us.
