Discrimination Lawyer Los Angeles, CA

Fighting for Justice 

in Every Protected Category

If you’ve been treated unfairly at work because of who you are, you're not alone, and you're not powerless to do something about it. At Dolan Law Firm, we have a long and successful history of holding California employers accountable for discrimination on the basis of race, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, pregnancy, and other protected traits. No matter the industry in which you are employed, our Los Angeles-based attorneys are prepared to protect your rights and help you recover what you deserve.

Under California law, most discrimination claims must be filed within a limited time window, so acting early gives your case the strongest chance of success. Contact us today to request your free, confidential case evaluation. We’re proud to serve clients throughout Los Angeles and the surrounding area from our office in the Spring Arts Tower.

You may have a case if you’ve experienced unfair treatment based on your:

• Race or Ethnicity
• Gender or Gender Identity
• Sexual Orientation
• Pregnancy or Family Status
• Age (40+)
• Disability or Medical Condition
• Religion
• National Origin
• Military or Veteran Status

Workplace discrimination can take many forms:

• Denied promotions or raises
• Inconsistent discipline or termination practices
• Biased hiring practices
• Unequal pay
• Offensive comments or workplace harassment
• Refusal to accommodate a disability or pregnancy
• Forced resignation due to hostile conditions (aka constructive discharge)

Christopher Dolan and the attorneys at Dolan Law Firm have been at the forefront of California’s most important employment cases.

In Williams v. Wyndham, we helped secure a $20 million verdict for a whistleblower fired after exposing fraud.

In another case, we took on one of the largest companies in the U.S. and obtained a $61 million verdict on behalf of two men subjected to racial harassment and abuse.

We don’t take shortcuts, and we don’t settle for silence. We fight for systemic change and justice for every client.

Discrimination Is Illegal

Even in At-Will Employment

California is an at-will employment state, which means employers can generally terminate workers without cause. Still, that doesn’t give them a free pass to discriminate. Firing, demoting, or refusing to hire someone based on a protected trait is illegal, and victims have the right to file a claim.

You may also be protected if:

• You filed a complaint or reported discrimination internally
• You took medical or pregnancy leave
• You participated in an investigation or testified on behalf of a coworker
• You requested a legally protected accommodation

If you were punished for exercising your own rights or for standing up for the rights of others, you may have a retaliation or wrongful termination claim.

1. Listen carefully to your story and assess potential claims
2. Review evidence like emails, personnel records, and witness accounts
3. Explain your legal options clearly with no pressure or legal jargon
4. Pursue justice through negotiation or, if necessary, trial

Compensation Available in Discrimination Lawsuits

Every case is different, but if you’ve faced unlawful discrimination, you may be entitled to compensation for:

• Lost wages and benefits
• Future lost earnings
• Emotional distress
• Damage to professional reputation
• Attorneys’ fees and legal costs
• Punitive damages (in egregious cases)

Our Los Angeles firm has a long record of securing compensation far beyond insurance offers, including high-value jury verdicts that send a message to employers who violate the law.
