Why Hire an Age Discrimination Lawyer in Los Angeles?
Hiring an attorney if you believe you experienced age discrimination means you’ll have someone on your side, ready to put you first while guiding you through the legal process. A legal professional from our team can:
Review Your Situation
We can quickly look over your situation to determine if you have a valid claim of age discrimination. This form of misconduct occurs when employers discriminate against applicants or current employees based on their age.
For example, you may experience age discrimination if your employer takes any of the following actions due to your age:
- Demotes you
- Denies you career opportunities or promotions
- Refuses to give you a raise
- Terminates your job
- Excludes you from activities in the workplace
- Refuses to accommodate your age-related disabilities
Our team can discuss your situation to see if you have experienced this form of discrimination.
Collect Evidence
Your age discrimination attorney in Los Angeles will need to collect evidence to establish wrongdoing on the part of your employer. We must gather proof that shows that your employer took a wrongful action against you, such as terminating you or demoting you based on your age.
We may need to collect communication from an employer discussing their motivation for their behavior, or other documentation that can establish discrimination.
Resolve Your Claim
We can take steps to resolve your age discrimination claim in Los Angeles. We may enter a period of negotiations with the lawyers representing your employer, potentially securing a favorable outcome on your behalf.
If your employer’s legal representatives refuse to negotiate with us, we can discuss other options, including litigation.
What Happens if You Win an Age Discrimination Claim?
The results of your age discrimination claim will vary based on your situation and whether or not it is covered by the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA). Depending on your circumstances, you may qualify for funds to pay for:
- Back pay from the time of the loss of your job
- Loss of future pay (front pay)
- Loss of benefits (including retirement and health care benefits)
Your employer may also have to cover your attorney’s fees in some cases. Our team can provide more specific information about the potential outcomes of your age discrimination claim after we review your situation.

We Can Explain Age Discrimination Laws
Several laws exist to protect employees from age discrimination. The ADEA represents the federal law that deals with this form of discrimination. The ADEA has provided protections to employees since the 1960s.
Several other laws may offer protections in your situation in California, including:
- The Age Discrimination Act of 1975
- The Workforce Investment Act of 1998
- The California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA)
Many of these laws offer protections for employees over 40 years of age, especially regarding discrimination tied to compensation, termination, training, hiring, and promotion. Our team can review your situation to determine if your employer violated any state or federal laws.
