Discrimination

Employment Discrimination Lawyer in San Francisco

Employment discrimination can take many forms—and in a diverse, competitive workplace like San Francisco, it often isn’t obvious at first. Employees may be treated unfairly because of their race, age, gender, pregnancy, disability, medical condition, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, or other legally protected characteristics under California and federal law.

Discrimination may show up as a denied promotion, sudden discipline, unequal pay, hostile treatment, or termination—often justified by vague performance claims or shifting explanations. Under California’s strong employee-protection laws, employers are prohibited from making employment decisions that are motivated, even in part, by a worker’s protected status.
