Holding Employers Accountable for Workplace Discrimination
Discrimination in any form is a violation of California and federal law. If you’ve been targeted, sidelined, harassed, or fired because of who you are, you may be entitled to legal protection and financial recovery.
What Are Protected Classes?
Protected classes are personal characteristics that employers are legally prohibited from using to make decisions about hiring, firing, pay, promotions, or working conditions. Discrimination based on any of these traits is unlawful under California and federal law. We represent employees facing unlawful treatment based on:
We act quickly to investigate the facts, preserve evidence, and hold your employer accountable. You deserve justice—not silence or excuses.
Discrimination isn’t limited to overt slurs or offensive remarks. When an employer makes negative decisions about your job based on a protected class, it may qualify as an adverse employment action—and it’s illegal.
Common adverse actions include:
If these actions were influenced by your race, gender, age, disability, religion, or any other protected characteristic, you may have a valid legal claim.

I had a very good experience with this Law firm. I started off with a different Law Firm, and things did not seem to be going anywhere, and Mr. Nozar Took over my case, and made it happen. I’m happy with the results. Everything was handled very professionally and I was able to reach him anytime I needed him.
