Employment Discrimination
At Libenson Law, we help our clients get the settlements that they deserve. We take time with your case and don’t rush to settle if we both agree that the outcome is likely to be better if we continue to pursue the employer.
We’ve taken on a range of client situations including the ones mentioned below. We believe that everyone deserves to be treated fairly on the job no matter your race, gender, national origin, disability, perceived disability, record of a disability, age, religion, or sexual orientation. These are all protected classifications under the Federal statute, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, and/or if you work in California, under the state’s Fair Employment and Housing Act.
Don’t wait another day to schedule your free consultation with Ross Libenson as there are deadlines to file complaints. Call us at 510.451.4441 or send an email to ross@libensonlaw.com.
Many employers are replacing older employees with younger, less expensive ones.
An older salesman was terminated for not meeting the company’s expectations. In reality, the company didn’t want to pay him for commissions that he had already earned. We were able to defeat the company’s request for arbitration and got a substantial six-figure settlement for our client.
Or a new CEO is brought in to reduce expenses.
Our client was a manager who was part of the team deciding who would be able to keep their jobs. He noticed that the push was to terminate the older, filipino women in the company. He called out this discrimination and two days later, he was dismissed for not being a team player. The employer’s retaliation and unlawful employment practices led to a six figure settlement for our client.
Or the male manager is abusive to the women on the team.
This case went beyond verbal harassment to a physical encounter when the male manager punched the assistant. The first step in this case (as in many of our cases) is to defeat the arbitration case. Once that was done, our female client was able to achieve a settlement since the company had failed to investigate and maintain a safe workplace.
Or the all-too-common sexual harassment (or worse!) situations.
The young, beautiful young woman was hired to be a sales person. She went on a training trip with the male sale reps and one took her laptop and told her to come to his room to get it. When she arrived, he was naked and tried to assault her. Unfortunately, her manager just brushed it aside and the employer was found to have failed to take the proper steps. She received a substantial six-figure settlement.
