Discrimination

Labor Law PC represents employees only. We never work for employers. From our Santa Monica office, our attorneys handle workplace discrimination cases across Los Angeles County and throughout California, from studio lots in Burbank and hospitals in Long Beach to warehouses near the ports, hotels in West Hollywood, and tech offices on the Westside. We know California's Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), we know the Los Angeles courts, and we know the tactics employers use to disguise discrimination as "restructuring" or "performance."

Every case starts with a free, confidential consultation, and we work on contingency: no fees until we win. If you believe you were treated worse than your coworkers because of your race, age, gender, disability, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, or another protected characteristic, call (877) 775-2267 or contact us online today.

Signs of Workplace Discrimination in Los Angeles

Discrimination is rarely announced out loud. It usually shows up as a pattern. Common warning signs include:

• You were treated worse than coworkers outside your group: less pay, worse shifts, fewer hours, harder assignments, or harsher discipline for the same conduct.
• Sudden "performance problems" appeared in your file after your employer learned your age, pregnancy, disability, religion, or other protected characteristic.
• You were passed over for promotion in favor of a less qualified person, again and again.
• Comments and "jokes" about your accent, hair, age, body, faith, or identity circulate at work, especially from supervisors.
• A layoff or "reorganization" swept out mostly older workers, mostly women, or mostly employees of one background while others were spared.
• You were denied an accommodation for a disability, a medical condition, pregnancy, or a religious practice without any real discussion.
• Things got worse after you complained. Retaliation for reporting discrimination is itself illegal, even if the underlying complaint is never proven.

One incident may be ambiguous. A pattern usually is not. Write down dates, save messages, and talk to a lawyer before the evidence disappears.

Types of Discrimination Cases We Handle

Labor Law PC handles every category of employment discrimination recognized under California law. Explore the pages below for the specific rules, examples, and deadlines that apply to your situation:

• Age discrimination: workers 40 and older pushed out, passed over, or targeted in layoffs.
• Race discrimination: unequal treatment based on race, color, or ancestry, including hair and grooming bias under the CROWN Act.
• Gender discrimination: sex-based unequal treatment and unequal pay under the California Equal Pay Act.
• National origin discrimination: bias based on accent, language, ethnicity, or immigration status.
• Religious discrimination: denied accommodations for religious dress, grooming, or observance.
• LGBTQ discrimination: mistreatment based on sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression.
• Disability discrimination: denied accommodations, forced leave, or termination because of a physical or mental disability or medical condition.

Why Los Angeles Workers Choose Labor Law PC

• Employees only, always. We never represent employers, so there are no conflicting loyalties. Your side is our only side.
• California-law depth. Our practice is built around FEHA, the Labor Code, and the California-specific rules that give workers more leverage than federal law alone.
• Local knowledge. We litigate in the Los Angeles Superior Court and the federal Central District of California, and we understand the industries where our clients work: entertainment, healthcare, hospitality, logistics, retail, garment, and tech.
• No fees until we win. We handle discrimination cases on contingency. If there is no recovery, you owe us no attorney fees.
• Compassion plus preparation. Discrimination cases are personal. We treat clients like people, not case numbers, while preparing every case as if it will go to trial.

Led by managing attorney Danny Yadidsion, our team is dedicated to making sure California workers' voices are heard.

What Compensation May Be Available

Every case is different, and no lawyer can promise an outcome. Depending on the facts, California courts have awarded discrimination victims:

• Lost wages and benefits, including back pay and, where reinstatement is not realistic, future lost earnings
• Emotional distress damages for the anxiety, humiliation, and harm to reputation that discrimination causes
• Punitive damages in cases involving malice, oppression, or fraud by managing agents
• Attorney fees and costs, which FEHA allows prevailing employees to recover
• Injunctive relief, such as policy changes or reinstatement

Because FEHA has no damages caps like Title VII, the full extent of your harm can be presented to a jury. We can only assess what your case may be worth after reviewing the facts, which is exactly what the free consultation is for.
