Workplace Discrimination

Everyone deserves a fair and equal chance at employment and a work environment free from workplace discrimination. If you have the required skills, knowledge and education to qualify for a position, there should be nothing standing in your way from acquiring the position you deserve. Other factors that are out of your control such as age or race should not be used against you. If you feel you have been unlawfully discriminated against and you were either terminated, not hired or promoted because of this in any part of California, contact a Los Angeles and California employment law firm or attorney today.

Have you or a loved one been a victim of Workplace Discrimination? It is essential to contact our Beverly Hills Lawyers. California employment law lawyers at the Steven M. Sweat, Personal Injury Lawyers, APC, APC are here to help if you or someone close to you has been treated unfairly and discriminated against at work.

In California, including Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino, Ventura and San Diego, it is illegal to discriminate against any employee due to any of the following:

  • Age
  • Gender
  • Sexual Orientation
  • Race
  • Ethnic Background
  • Disability

To discriminate against older individuals and not hire them or terminate them simply because they are older than a certain age is illegal in California. The ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) is a federal law which covers California as well as all the states in America. This law prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities when it comes to job opportunities. In California, the state law is known as the Fair Employment and Housing Act – also known as FEHA – which covers a number of different things, not just disability. Both California state law and federal law protects individuals from being discriminated against based on their race as well. If you feel you have been discriminated against for any of these things in Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino, Ventura, San Diego or other California cities, contact our Beverly Hills employment attorneys and lawyers.

In California, FEHA also protects pregnant women from being discriminated against when it comes to hiring and firing at a place of employment, along with federal Title VII laws. California state law also protects employees from being discriminated against when it comes to their sexual orientation. Additionally, according to the Equal Pay Act, it is illegal to not hire or fire someone based on gender, or pay them less than what you would pay someone else of the opposite sex who possesses the exact same skills, experience, and education.

I have known Steven for some time now and when his services were required he jumped in and took control of my cases. I had two and they were handled with the utmost professionalism and courtesy. He went the extra mile regardless of the bumps in the road. I can not see me using any other attorney and I would recommend him to any of my family and friends. Josie A.
★★★★★
Steven was vital during our most trying time. He was referred by a friend after an accident that involved a family member. While he was critical and lying in the hospital, Steven was kind, patient and knowledgeable about what we were going through. Following our loss, Steven became a tough and aggressive negotiator and made sure that we receive a huge compensation. I would refer Steven in fact, this happened 2 years ago and I still speak highly of his service. Cheryl S.

I must tell anyone, if you need a great attorney, Steve sweat is the guy! I had an awful car accident and had no idea where to turn. He had so much to deal with because my accident was a 4 car pile up. Not to mention all the other cars were behind me and they were not wanting to settle in any way! He never stopped working for me and had my best interest at heart! Audra W.
★★★★★
I believe I made the best choice with Steven M Sweat, Personal Injury. I was very reluctant to go forward with my personal injury claim. I had a valid claim and I needed a professional attorney to handle it. I felt so much better when I let Steven take my case. His team did everything right and I am very satisfied. Stia P.
★★★★★
I have to say that Steve has been exemplary! I met Steve at a point with my case that I was ready to give up. He took the time and dealt with all of my concerns. Most importantly, he was present and listened to what I was going through. He was able to turn things around, put me and my case on the right track! The results were better that expected! Highly recommend!! Cody A.
