Los Angeles Age Discrimination Lawyer

Our Los Angeles age discrimination lawyer protect workers and employees aged 40 years and above from discrimination at work due to their age. As skilled employment attorneys, we help victims fight for their rights against acts of discrimination in the workplace.

Individuals, 40 years or above, are protected by the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA) against any form of harassment or discrimination in the process of employment or job application. This law states that it is illegal to discriminate a person due to his/her age in various terms, conditions and privileges of employment such as:

• Hiring
• Job promotion
• Layoff
• Wages and hours
• Employee benefits
• Tasking
• Training
• Job termination or firing

ADEA also requires employers to comply with employment laws on age discrimination and employer retaliations. It also safeguards whistleblowers who file charges, testify or participate in investigation, legal procedures and litigation due to the discriminative policies of their employers.

However, the ADEA only applies to companies with 20 or above workers. This also covers federal, state and local governments as well as employment institutions and labor group.

If you think you have been harassed or discriminated in any manner related to your or job application due to your age, consult with our experienced employment discrimination lawyer.

We also assist employers in drafting and implementing guidelines against age discrimination and ensure compliance to state and federal anti-discrimination laws.

With more than 15 years of experience in handling discrimination cases, our Los Angeles age discrimination law firm has represented both employer and employees in various employment discrimination cases in state and federal courts. We have also appeared before the Department of Fair Employment and Housing, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and other administrative hearing bodies.
