Eisenberg & Associates represents employees dealing with age discrimination, wrongful termination, harassment, retaliation, and other workplace disputes. Our Encino age discrimination lawyers can review your employment situation, evaluate the available evidence, and help you understand your legal options.
Your years of experience should not be treated as a reason to overlook your contributions, deny opportunities, reduce your responsibilities, or push you out of the workplace.

Eisenberg & Associates helps employees navigate workplace discrimination and other employment-law disputes. Our attorneys examine the circumstances surrounding an employment decision and consider the protections that may apply under Encino and federal law.
We review the broader employment picture, including your work history, performance records, employer explanations, decision-makers, workplace communications, and treatment of similarly situated employees.

Age discrimination is not always easy to recognize. In some situations, an employer or supervisor may make a direct comment about an employee’s age. In others, concerns may become apparent only after reviewing a pattern of employment decisions and workplace events.
Federal law generally protects workers age 40 and older from age discrimination, while Encino Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) also provides protections against employment discrimination based on age for eligible applicants and employees.
Certain workplace situations may warrant a closer look.
You have extensive experience, strong performance records, and the qualifications needed for advancement, but a younger employee receives the position instead.
Choosing a younger candidate does not automatically establish unlawful age discrimination. However, age-related comments, differences in qualifications, inconsistent explanations, changes in treatment, or other circumstances may be relevant when evaluating the decision.
Your employer tells you that your position is being eliminated because of restructuring, budget concerns, or downsizing. Shortly afterward, a younger employee performs substantially similar duties under a different job title.
Being replaced by a younger worker alone does not prove discrimination. However, the employer’s explanation, timing of the decision, qualifications, communications, and other surrounding evidence may help provide context.
After years of positive reviews, you begin receiving negative performance evaluations shortly before a termination, demotion, or other adverse employment action.
A sudden change in performance assessments may raise questions when it conflicts with your previous records or occurs alongside age-related comments or other concerning circumstances.
Performance evaluations, disciplinary notices, emails, policies, and other workplace records can help establish a timeline and provide context for the employer’s decisions.
You may feel pressure to retire because of comments about your age, suggestions that it is “time to move on,” changes to your responsibilities, or discussions about replacing you with a younger employee.
Pressure to leave a position because of age can raise legal concerns depending on the circumstances. If you believe you are being pushed toward retirement, an attorney can review what occurred and explain the legal issues that may apply.
Losing your job after years of service can have serious financial and professional consequences.
Our attorneys can examine the reason provided for your termination, your employment history, performance records, timing, severance documents, communications, and whether younger employees were treated differently under similar circumstances.
Age-related discrimination can involve more than termination. Depending on the circumstances, being denied training, promotions, raises, projects, responsibilities, or other employment opportunities may also raise concerns.
Taking action against an employer requires careful preparation. Our legal team can help you understand the facts, evaluate potential claims, and determine appropriate next steps.
Your complete employment history can provide important context. We listen to what happened involving your performance, workplace relationships, promotions, disciplinary actions, comments about age, and events leading up to the dispute.
Details can be important in employment cases. We may review emails, text messages, workplace communications, performance evaluations, personnel records, company policies, compensation information, termination documents, and witness statements.
Our attorneys look for timelines, inconsistencies, patterns, and other evidence that may help explain the employer’s decisions.
Depending on the circumstances, an age discrimination dispute may involve potential claims relating to retaliation, wrongful termination, harassment, failure to promote, unequal treatment, or other employment-law violations.
The appropriate legal claims depend on the specific facts, applicable laws, employer coverage, and available evidence.
Having legal representation can provide a structured way to address an employment dispute. Our attorneys can communicate with your employer or its legal representatives, address employment-related concerns on your behalf, and pursue negotiations when appropriate.
Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, potential remedies may include back pay, front pay, reinstatement or promotion, emotional distress damages, punitive damages, attorney fees, and other legally available relief.
No particular outcome can be guaranteed, and the remedies available depend on the facts and applicable law.
We maintain organized case management to help address important documents, deadlines, communications, and legal filings. Depending on your circumstances, your case may proceed through negotiation, an administrative process, or litigation.
Reaching out to a lawyer can feel overwhelming, but we make the process clear, straightforward, and supportive.
