Sexual Preference Discrimination
California Employment Law Attorneys
California state laws prohibit discrimination based upon an employee's sexual orientation or perceived sexual orientation. While federal laws do not yet prohibit this type of discrimination, Advantage Law Group has sufficient knowledge of the laws that do exist to help those who suffer from such types of discrimination, harassment and intolerance.
Advantage Law Group has three office locations — San Diego, Orange County, and the Bay Area. We protect the rights of employees throughout California. If you have been treated unfairly or illegally at work because of your sexual orientation, call (800) 507-9470 to schedule your free case evaluation with an employment law attorney.
It is important to note that you must make a complaint to the California Labor Commission within 30 days if you have faced these adverse conditions in the workplace. By contacting an attorney as soon as you can, you can meet this strict time limit.
Our Lawyers Are Dedicated to Protecting Your Rights
Advantage Law Group has significant experience protecting the rights of employees who have experienced discrimination, wrongful termination and other adverse actions based upon their sexual orientation. We handle negotiations, mediation and litigation on behalf of employees throughout California.
Sexual orientation discrimination can involve situations where a person is harassed or suffers adverse actions based upon his or her real or perceived sexual orientation. Whether you are gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender or heterosexual, this type of discrimination may be illegal under state laws. Additionally, these actions may be in violation of federal and state laws involving gender discrimination. Our attorneys can listen to your account of the situation and help you decide how to proceed, including giving you honest answers about the possible implications of your decision.

You may feel like you have no form of recourse; this is not true. Even if we are unable to file a wrongful discharge lawsuit on your behalf, we may be able to help in other ways. In some cases, we may be able to negotiate a severance agreement on your behalf. In other cases, a client may have a claim for unpaid overtime. If you retain our firm, we will determine what legal recourse you may have and aggressively protect your rights and interests.
Have you been fired, demoted, harassed, or discriminated against at work because of your sexual orientation?
