In a typical employment discrimination case based on race, an employee claims that he or she was terminated, demoted, or denied promotion on the basis of his or her race, color or ethnic appearance.

Employers frequently claim that there exists a legitimate, non-discriminatory reason for the adverse employment action, and that race was not an issue. We must then determine whether the employer's stated reason for the adverse employment action was simply a pretext for unlawful discrimination. Our attorneys have extensive experience with race discrimination claims that helps us to distinguish between non-discriminatory employment actions and true unlawful conduct.

For a free consultation about your legal options in a workplace race discrimination case, contact a lawyer at the Law Offices of Rheuban & Gresen in Los Angeles. Our creative and aggressive approach to workplace discrimination lawsuits, together with our experience in the presentation and proof of discriminatory treatment on the job, can make a significant difference in the ultimate result of your claim.

Whether you're African-American, Latino, of Middle Eastern descent, or a member of any other racial or national minority, the attorneys at Rheuban & Gresen will conduct a careful investigation of your claim and work with seasoned experts to determine whether race discrimination was a likely cause for your termination or demotion. We also work closely with human resources professionals, demographic statisticians, and diversity experts, who can review your employer's personnel practices, diversity training, and supervisors' training to see if industry standards and California laws that are designed to prevent race discrimination in the workplace have been satisfied.

If our investigation shows that your employer has an established pattern of racial or national origin discrimination in its hiring, promotion, or layoff practices, we'll even consider filing a motion to proceed with a class action lawsuit. Of course, our objective in all cases is to obtain the best result possible for our clients.

To this end, we pursue all available theories of liability under California or federal law, including:

• California's Fair Employment and Housing Act
• The California Unlawful Business Practices Act
• California's Private Attorneys General Act
• Title VII of the federal Civil Rights Act of 1964

We accept all claims on a contingent fee basis — we collect no attorney's fees unless you win by settlement, judgment, award, etc. For a free consultation about your race discrimination claim, contact a lawyer at the Law Offices of Rheuban & Gresen.
