CALIFORNIA WORKPLACE DISCRIMINATION ATTORNEYS

Q: How long do I have to file a claim?

Under California law, you typically have three years from the date of the discriminatory act to file a complaint with the California Civil Rights Department (CRD). After receiving a Right to Sue notice, you have one year to file a civil lawsuit.

WHO FIRED YOU? LET OUR CALIFORNIA WORKPLACE DISCRIMINATION LAWYERS HELP!

At Razavi Law Group, our top-rated employment law attorneys are dedicated to standing up for California workers who have experienced unlawful workplace discrimination. Every employee deserves to work in an environment where they are treated fairly and with respect—but when employers engage in or tolerate discriminatory practices, the consequences can be life-changing.

Workplace discrimination occurs when an employee is treated unfairly based on protected characteristics such as race, gender, age, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or national origin. Under California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), this type of conduct is strictly prohibited—whether it impacts hiring, promotions, job duties, pay, or termination.

If you’ve been subjected to discrimination, our experienced legal team is here to help. We understand that these cases can be deeply personal and aggressively defended. That’s why we take a strategic and relentless approach—conducting thorough investigations, preserving critical evidence, and building strong claims designed to hold employers accountable.

How We Advocate for Victims of Workplace Discrimination

Workplace discrimination isn’t always obvious—but its effects can be deeply harmful. Our legal team takes a strategic, thorough approach to every case. We:

Investigate discriminatory practices and patterns of unequal treatment
Preserve and evaluate evidence, including HR complaints, internal communications, and performance reviews

We Shoulder the Legal Burden—You Focus on Moving Forward

Discrimination based on race, gender, age (40+), disability, religion, sexual orientation, or other protected characteristics can take a serious emotional and financial toll. You shouldn’t have to carry that burden alone.

Our attorneys will:

Conduct detailed case evaluations and explain your legal options
Collect and analyze workplace records and communications
Collaborate with experts when needed to support your case
Prepare every claim as though it will go to trial—ensuring maximum leverage

Most Asked Topics

How do I prove I was discriminated against at work?

To prove discrimination, you’ll need to show:

You belong to a protected class
You suffered an adverse employment action (e.g., firing, demotion, denied promotion)
Others in similar roles were treated differently
There is evidence suggesting bias or discriminatory motive (e.g., emails, HR complaints)

Is workplace retaliation also illegal?

Yes. If you are punished for reporting discrimination, requesting accommodations, or participating in an investigation, you may have a retaliation claim under FEHA in addition to your discrimination case.

What compensation can I recover in a discrimination case?

You may be entitled to compensation for:

Lost wages and benefits
Emotional distress
Legal fees and costs
Punitive damages (in severe cases)

How long do I have to file a claim?

Under California law, you typically have three years from the date of the discriminatory act to file a complaint with the California Civil Rights Department (CRD). After receiving a Right to Sue notice, you have one year to file a civil lawsuit.

Can I file a lawsuit even if I still work for the employer?

Yes. You do not need to quit or be terminated to have a valid claim. Many employees file claims while still employed, especially if they are facing ongoing discrimination or retaliation.

What should I do if I believe I’m being discriminated against?

Document everything and report it to HR in writing. Then consult an experienced FEHA attorney to evaluate your claim and determine your next steps. Legal guidance early on can protect your rights and improve your chances of success.

I liked working with James. He is really sweet, kind, and patient. After my accident, I was having a panic attack, and he took the time to reassure me and walk me through what I needed to do. He kept me updated and is always willing to explain and answer any questions. I felt very comfortable working with him.Ali is also very responsive. He would reply to my texts right away, even after hours. They were both very accommodating and wonderful to work with.

I had a great experience working with Faheem Tukhi at Razavi Law Group. I worked with him through their Employment Law department, and he was incredibly helpful throughout my entire settlement case. He did an excellent job keeping me informed every step of the way and was always available to answer my questions. He took the time to clearly explain what was happening and what each possible outcome could mean for me.What really stood out was how proactive he was, he would check in with me regularly and made sure I felt supported and understood throughout the process. That level of communication and care made a stressful situation much easier to navigate.I would absolutely recommend Faheem Razavi Law Group to any friends or family going through a similar situation.
