Racial Discrimination Attorney California

Eisenberg & Associates provides racial discrimination attorneys in California to help employees who have been treated unfairly at work because of their race, color, ancestry, or national origin. If you were denied a job, passed over for a promotion, paid less, harassed, demoted, or fired because of your race, we are here to help you understand your legal rights.

What is Racial Discrimination at Work?

Racial discrimination happens when an employer treats a worker or job applicant unfairly because of race, color, ancestry, or another protected characteristic related to race.

Racial discrimination is not always easy to see. Sometimes an employer makes a clear racial comment. Other times, the unfair treatment is hidden behind a sudden poor review, a denied promotion, fewer work hours, or a reason for termination that does not seem to make sense.

It can happen before you get a job, while you are working, or when your employment ends.

For example, an employer may:

  • Refuse to hire you because of your race.
  • Give a promotion to a less-qualified employee because of race.
  • Pay you less than employees of another race for similar work.
  • Give you worse shifts, assignments, or job duties.
  • Give you fewer chances to train or move up.
  • Fire or demote you because of your race.
  • Give you unfair or false performance reviews.
  • Allow racial slurs, insults, or offensive behavior to continue.
  • Treat employees of different races differently for the same mistake.
  • Retaliate against you after you complain about racial discrimination.
 

At Eisenberg & Associates, we listen to what happened, review the facts, and help you fight for your legal rights.

People Also Ask

Can Eisenberg & Associates help with racial discrimination?

Yes. Eisenberg & Associates represents California employees in employment law matters, including racial discrimination, racial harassment, retaliation, wrongful termination, and other workplace disputes.

Can I have a racial discrimination case without a racial slur?

Racial discrimination does not always involve a racial slur or an openly racist statement.

A pattern of unequal treatment, different discipline, unfair pay, denied promotions, suspicious employment decisions, or other evidence may be relevant.

An attorney can review the facts of your situation and explain whether you may have a claim.

Can I sue my employer for racial discrimination?

Depending on the facts, you may have the right to pursue a legal claim against an employer.

The process and deadlines can depend on the law that applies to your case and the type of discrimination involved.

California’s Civil Rights Department states that, in general, an employment discrimination complaint must be filed within three years of the alleged discriminatory act, although different rules can apply in particular situations.

Because deadlines can affect your rights, it is important to speak with our attorney about your specific situation.

What if my employer fired me after I complained about discrimination?

You may have a retaliation claim depending on what happened.

California law protects employees from certain forms of retaliation for asserting rights protected by FEHA.

If your employer’s treatment changed after you complained, tell us when you made the complaint, what you said, who received it, and what happened afterward.
