San Diego Race & National Origin Discrimination Attorney

If you face workplace discrimination because of your race or national origin, or in the way of retaliation or the refusal to hire, it is imperative that you know and understand your legal rights and responsibilities. You may be able to recover money damages, including lost pay, benefits and attorneys fees. No employer whether its a small business, major corporation, or local, state or federal government should deny you the right to work due to your race or national origin. The most commonly applied federal anti-discrimination law is Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This legislation protects employees and job applicants from discrimination and harassment based on the protected categories of race, color, national origin, religion and sex.

At The Gomez Law Firm, we are committed to ensuring justice for those victimized by race, color or national origin discrimination. It is illegal for employers to take into account an employee’s or job applicant’s race, color or national origin when making employments decisions. This includes an employer’s decisions to hire, fire, promote, demote or create certain terms and conditions of employment.

Race Discrimination

Race or racial discrimination occurs when an employee is harassed or treated differently because of her or his color or race. If you have applied for work and been rejected, had your employment terminated, or been treated differently or harmed somehow in your employment and you think this may be related to racial differences at your place of employment, then you may have suffered race or racial discrimination.  If you feel you that your racial background may have played a role in a recent employment related issue consult with the Gomez Law Firm for legal guidance.

National Origin Discrimination

National origin discrimination means treating an employee less favorably from other employees because the employee comes from a particular place, has a particular ethnic background, or is married to someone of a particular national origin. 

Discrimination cases are often difficult and complicated. Each case requires a careful, focused, and detailed evaluation by a knowledgeable attorney that specializes in employment law.

Based on the facts of your situation and your specific goals, we will work with you to negotiate with your employer, file a Charge of Discrimination with the appropriate federal, state or local agency, and if necessary, represent you in federal or state court.
