Employment Discrimination

California Employment Discrimination Lawyers
Civil Rights Attorneys • Race, Cancer, Sex, Disability and Age Discrimination

Have you been treated differently from others at work?

Are you subjected to racial or sexual stereotyping?

Are you fearful of retaliation if you speak up?

These and many other illegal incidents are examples of employment discrimination, and are prohibited by both state and federal law. If you have been harmed by actions like this in the workplace, you need to contact the California employment discrimination lawyers at W. J. Smith & Associates, Attorneys at Law, in Fresno, California. Our law firm was founded in 1980, and our well-respected lawyers and capable support staff are dedicated to offering honest and compassionate legal advice that is aggressively focused on getting discrimination victims the proper compensation they are entitled to for their lost wages, and emotional distress.

What are the Different Ways I Might be Discriminated Against?

Our knowledgeable attorneys have 40 years of combined legal experience representing clients who have suffered employment discrimination based on:

  • Race
  • National Origin
  • Disability
  • Religion
  • Sex
  • Age
  • Cancer Diagnosis

Maybe you have been treated differently because you are a woman working in a typical man’s field, you are a minority in an otherwise all-white company, or you do not speak English. Perhaps you were ridiculed for your religious beliefs, or passed over for a promotion in favor of a younger, less experienced employee. Sometimes employers fail to make proper accommodations for employees with disabilities, or refuse to let workers return to their jobs after taking a leave of absence to undergo cancer treatment.

If you have suffered because of any of these types of illegal actions, it is important that you immediately contact our California employment discrimination lawyers to see how we might help you get the compensation you deserve. Our employment attorneys offer honest, accessible legal advice in a safe and empathic environment. Let us help you with your discrimination matter.
