Age Discrimination
At the Law Offices of Rheuban & Gresen, we have extensive experience in litigating age discrimination claims, especially those involving layoffs, downsizing, and departmental reorganizations. Employers in recent years have not necessarily become enlightened with the times. Rather, they have developed more sophisticated methods for getting rid of older workers without apparent discrimination. However, our Los Angeles employment discrimination attorneys know how to look beneath the surface of the stated reasoning behind an adverse employment action (such as termination) to determine whether an actionable age-based claim exists. For a free consultation about your age discrimination claim, contact a workplace rights attorney at the Law Offices of Rheuban & Gresen.
The incentive for employers to prefer younger employees over older workers is obvious. In most cases, they're less expensive, easier to intimidate, less knowledgeable of their workplace rights, cheaper to insure, and better looking. We've seen that this last factor can be critically important from the employer's perspective in many industries, such as:
- College recruitment
- Entertainment
- Pharmaceuticals
- Sales
- Fashion and design
Our heavy use of forensic experts from many disciplines and statistical databases gives us a significant advantage in exposing the pretextual nature of a corporate downsizing or reduction in force, and showing that the layoffs in question were nothing more than age discrimination in an elaborate disguise.
We accept age discrimination cases on a contingent fee basis. You pay no attorney's fees unless and until your case settles favorably or we win at trial. If your situation appears to be a widespread problem throughout your company, we'll also consider the possibility of class action litigation.
