Los Angeles Employment Discrimination Attorney
California's workforce is aging. As more and more baby boomers reach retirement age, they find that they often face career obstacles. One of the most difficult obstacles to overcome is age discrimination. This form of discrimination occurs when people are treated differently in their jobs due to age and perceived inability to do the work.
At the Law Office of Edward Torres in Pasadena, we represent the victims of age discrimination in courts throughout the Los Angeles area. By taking legal action, we help protect the rights of older people to stay involved in the workforce.
Age discrimination does not have to involve being fired. There are many situations in which age discrimination occurs, including the ones listed below:
- Loss of a job/wrongful termination
- Failure to be promoted
- Demotion
- Loss of employment benefits
- Transfer to an undesirable work assignment
If you believe that any of these have happened to you based on your age, it is a good idea to talk with an experienced attorney. At our law firm, attorney Edward Torres uses 26 years of experience to fight for employees' rights. Mr. Torres is highly regarded by his peers and was selected for inclusion in 2011 Southern California Super Lawyers Magazine.
When our law firm handles your age discrimination case, we fight for full and fair compensation. You may be entitled to damages for emotional pain and suffering, loss of pay and future loss of earnings.
More than recovering compensation for the victims of age discrimination, employment lawsuits send a clear message to California employers: Hiring practices based solely on age will not be tolerated. In taking action, our hope is to put an end to age discrimination and to prevent the same kind of harm from happening to others in the future.
