Since 1990, Donald R. Holben & Associates has provided comprehensive employment discrimination representation at the administrative and judicial levels for individuals working in San Diego and Palm Springs.

Our lawyers possess 100 years of combined legal experience dedicated to employment law. We have handled thousands of claims for those employed by private and public companies as well as government agencies.
The Employment Discrimination Claims Process
Our San Diego and Palm Springs employment discrimination lawyers understand the complicated process you must go through in order to pursue a legal claim against your employer. You must first address your employer's administrative procedures and exhaust all of your employer's administrative remedies before you can start a lawsuit.
We provide informed guidance based on decades of experience fulfilling administrative remedies in every employment sector. We understand the short and severe time limits for administrative remedies and court filings. With our guidance, you can be sure that your administrative documentation will be completed effectively and efficiently. Inaccurate information at the administrative phase can hinder your lawsuit.
Litigation and Trial
Once you have exhausted your administrative remedies, you may be able to file a lawsuit to pursue damages. We have extensive experience negotiating proper settlements, litigating and taking claims to trial.
We conduct thorough investigations to support clients' claims. Our evaluations can include reviewing witness statements, documents and other information about the company to demonstrate that your situation was not unique. When necessary, we also work with a private investigator.
Discrimination claims have strict limitations. It is important that you consult with a qualified California attorney. Our legal team has extensive experience handling the administrative and judicial proceedings related to:
- Sexual harassment and gender discrimination
- Race discrimination
- Sexual orientation discrimination
- ADA discrimination
- Age discrimination
