When a disability, medical condition, or perceived disability leads to unfair treatment at work, Long Beach employees can turn to Eisenberg & Associates for capable disability discrimination lawyers.
Disability discrimination occurs when an employer treats an employee or applicant unfavorably because of a disability, medical condition, or perceived disability.
Employees who have physical or mental disabilities are broadly protected by California law, and that covers people working in Long Beach. The state’s anti-discrimination law generally applies to employers with at least five employees. Covered employers must also make reasonable accommodations when the law requires it.
Spotting it isn’t always straightforward.
Employers seldom put it plainly: “We’re dismissing you since you have a disability.”
Signs to watch for include:
The details of each case differ. Our workplace discrimination lawyers in California review the circumstances and help you understand whether unlawful discrimination could be involved.
When disability discrimination touches your work, pay, and plans for the future, choosing a direction can be tough.
The disability discrimination attorneys at Eisenberg & Associates who serve Long Beach hear your experience, weigh the facts, and describe your legal options without confusing terms.
Issues our disability discrimination lawyers can address:
According to California’s Civil Rights Department, reasonable accommodation may include changes to job duties, schedules, work locations, medical leave, or equipment when the law requires it. Employers are also expected to engage in a timely, good-faith interactive process whenever an accommodation may be necessary.
Eisenberg & Associates helps you learn about your rights, request accommodations you may be entitled to, and take action if your employer won’t work with you.

Eisenberg & Associates — California Employment Law Attorneys
It is. Eisenberg & Associates stands up for employees in employment law matters like disability discrimination, unmet accommodation needs, retaliation, wrongful termination, and other workplace conflicts.
Employers can carry legal duties when it comes to reasonable accommodation.
The Civil Rights Department explains that covered employers typically need to make reasonable accommodation for eligible physical or mental disabilities, unless it would create undue hardship. They may also be expected to join a timely, good-faith interactive process.
Eisenberg & Associates can go over what you asked for and what your employer did next.
It does not. Being fired isn’t a requirement.
Depending on the circumstances, discrimination can appear as a denied promotion, lost hours, a demotion, an unmet accommodation, harassment, unwelcome changes to your role, retaliation, or another harmful step by an employer.
Employees may have legal protection against retaliation for protected activity, depending on the circumstances.
If things got worse for you after an accommodation request or a discrimination complaint, save notes on what happened and think about talking with our Long Beach disability discrimination lawyer.
