Employee Discrimination and Harassment Prevention
When it comes to harassment and discrimination, state and federal laws protect all employees. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is the principal federal agency charged with combating discrimination, and it collaborates with the Department of Fair Employment Housing in California. You would definitely benefit from the legal assistance of a competent attorney when filing a complaint with the EEOC and/or DFEH. While the EEOC and DFEH may be the first places you should go to exercise your legal rights, we will assist you in gathering evidence and building a detailed case documenting the instances you have experienced in order to maximize your compensation and avoid subsequent injustices.
We have 40+ years of experience.
We won thousands of cases.
Count on us to be there anytime.
