Under the law, you have the right to be protected from acts of harassment at your place of employment. At Phillip J. Griego & Associates, our discrimination attorneys have represented a wide variety of claims, including sexual and racial harassment.

Sexual Harassment

If you are a victim of sexual harassment in the workplace, your rights have been violated. You do not have to tolerate this treatment. Contact a skilled employment law attorney to investigate your sexual harassment claim.

Discrimination

According to both federal and California anti-discrimination laws, an employee can not be treated differently due to age, race, color, national origin, gender, religion, veteran status, disability, creed, marital status, pregnancy, citizenship, H1-B visa, or whistleblower / retaliation. California law is more protective, and prohibits employment discrimination based on sexual orientation. If you have suffered from discrimination by your employer, contact Phillip J. Griego & Associates immediately for a review of your situation.
