Have you been treated unfairly in the workplace because of your gender? Have you been given fewer earning opportunities or assignments because your boss believes your husband can care for your family? Has your employer denied you leave believing that caring for a sick child should be left to the mother?

These situations are not only unfair, they may be unlawful under both Title VII of the federal Civil Rights Act and California's Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA).

By and large, gender should not play a role in employment decisions.

Effectively Resolving Claims of Sex Discrimination and Gender Bias

We offer free consultations on all forms of workplace discrimination and accept cases on a contingent fee basis. In other words, we collect no attorney's fee unless we reach a favorable resolution for you, either by settlement, verdict, award, or judgment.

We represent individuals in sex discrimination cases involving a wide variety of claims, including:

• Disparate treatment between men and women in promotions, salary, commission, or benefits, which could be violations of the federal Equal Pay Act
• Sexual harassment and other violations of Title VII of the federal Civil Rights Act or California's Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA)
• Demotion or layoff following a period of pregnancy leave, maternity leave, or time off under the California Family Rights Act, the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), or the Pregnancy Discrimination Act
• Retaliation by demotion or termination following a complaint involving sexual harassment, sex discrimination or gender bias

Our discrimination lawyers carefully analyze all of the issues in your case and take an aggressive approach to resolving your claim. We work closely with human resources professionals, statisticians, and diversity experts, among others, who review the specific facts of each individual case to help us proceed with each claim.

We represent individuals in all sectors of public and private industry, including government employees, business professionals, health care providers and academia. We are attuned to the special needs of our clients particular to each of those industries.

Where circumstances warrant, we'll also consider whether your claim would be amenable to class action status. This may be appropriate in cases where the evidence indicates that an employer systematically discriminates against individuals based on sexism or gender.
