Your Rights under Federal and California Law

California's Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) and Federal laws under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibit employers from discriminating against certain protected classes such as racial or ethnic groups. Prohibited behavior includes:

• Treating them differently than other groups
• Holding them to a higher standard
• Adopting policies which have a disparate impact on those groups

The prohibited behavior you experience may include racial slurs, workplace harassment, or expressions of racial prejudice, verbal abuse. Or it may be more subtle, such as reassignment to a difficult or unpleasant work task or poor job reviews despite adequate performance.

Our race discrimination attorneys in San Francisco, Oakland & San Jose can inform you of your rights, opportunities for obtaining compensation, and the legal process required to get justice for you.

Deadlines for Filing Discrimination Claims

The first step in obtaining justice is the filing of a claim with the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) or the Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Be advised that there are strict time deadlines for these claims, so talk with a racial discrimination lawyer regarding these issues as soon as possible.

If these administrative remedies fail, you have the option of legal action in the courts to obtain justice and compensation.

If you have been the victim of racial discrimination or a hostile work environment, it is up to you to act. Unless you take action, this illegal behavior will continue to occur.

The Armstrong Law Firm was very knowledgeable and aggressive in representing me against a company that previously refused to take my claims seriously until I hired Kelly Armstrong and her lawyers. I am very happy with the resolution of my case and recommend them to all employees who need excellent lawyers."

There were five of us female employees who were sexually harassed at work … for years. The daily sexual comments, cat calls, leering, staring, grabbing and gross remarks made us feel sick and like we were just objects. Management didn't take it seriously until we hired Kelly Armstrong of The Armstrong Law Firm. She took over our case and made the other side pay all of us for our emotional distress. I highly recommend her to all sexual harassment victims who want her to fight for them to the finish."

My manager began harassing and discriminating against me after I told him I was pregnant … He began trying to set me up for termination by falsely accusing me of poor work performance … Kelly Armstrong and her team achieved a financial resolution for me that sent a clear message to my employer and allowed me to resume my life in a positive way."
