California Employment Discrimination Lawyers
The recent economic downturn has led to layoffs and other severe employment issues. Those over age 40 are considered a protected class under the law. When qualified job candidates are laid off, are not invited to interview or are not hired based on their age, they have the right to pursue reparations.
At Donald R. Holben & Associates, our California attorneys have been protecting employees in San Diego and Palm Springs from employment discrimination since 1990. We understand how ageism in the workplace can create significant emotional and financial stress. We also understand the complicated administrative remedies that you must complete before you can take a claim to court. We provide representation at the administrative phase and judicial phase.
Extensive Investigations
Companies are required to base interviewing and hiring decisions on a person's qualifications, not age. We have experience representing individuals in the private, public and government sectors who were not brought in to interview or not hired based on age.
Our San Diego and Palm Springs age discrimination lawyers conduct extensive investigations into clients' claims. Our thorough investigations include reviewing the ages of those who were interviewed as well as those who applied. For layoffs, we review the ages of each laid off employee to determine if a disproportionate number of employees were in the protected class to demonstrate discrimination. We use whatever resources we need to preserve evidence to ensure that you have a strong case before going forward with a lawsuit.
