Our Practice Areas
If your employer has violated civil rights laws or the San Francisco labor code, alternative dispute resolution may offer a resolution. Our alternative dispute resolution lawyers in San Francisco can evaluate your case and help you decide whether mediation or arbitration is a suitable option.
The administrative complaint process in San Francisco can be complicated, but in many cases of discrimination, you must file a complaint before filing a lawsuit. While you may go through the process yourself, an administrative complaint attorney can help improve your chances of success.
Arbitration is more formal than mediation but less formal than going to court. An arbitration lawyer may help you resolve your legal issue efficiently. The arbitration attorneys at California Civil Rights Law Group can assess whether you’re a good candidate.
If your employer refuses to make reasonable accommodations for your religion or treats you differently because of it, our religious discrimination lawyers can step in on your behalf. Our team has secured many religious discrimination lawsuit settlements for clients who have faced mistreatment because of their faith.
Sexual harassment at work often goes unreported because employees believe no one will do anything about it. Our San Francisco sexual harassment lawyers think no one should have to endure harassment, and we’re ready to help you hold your employer accountable.
Even in San Francisco, many employers refuse to hire or promote certain people based on their race. Racial discrimination lawyers help victims of discrimination assert their rights and recover damages when eligible. If you need a San Francisco racial discrimination attorney, contact our firm.
When most people imagine a sexual assault attorney, they picture a criminal prosecutor. If you’ve been sexually assaulted, seeing the perpetrator face charges may help you heal. However, a San Francisco sexual assault lawyer can help you pursue a civil case and possibly recover damages as well.
San Francisco disability rights lawyers don’t just help people access the social programs they’re entitled to. They also represent workers whose employers refuse to make reasonable accommodations or otherwise engage in discrimination. If you’ve been a victim of disability discrimination, our San Francisco disability lawyers can help.
LGBTQ rights in San Francisco are part of the city’s very fabric. However, some employers still treat workers unfairly for expressing non-traditional gender identities. If you’re facing discrimination, contact our LGBT rights attorneys for support.
Any San Francisco wrongful termination attorney can tell you that employers fire workers for many reasons — and some of those reasons are illegal. If you need a wrongful termination attorney in San Francisco, California Civil Rights Law Group is here for you.
Pregnancy discrimination in San Francisco may not seem widespread, but many employers engage in subtle (yet damaging) discrimination against pregnant employees. If you’ve been denied opportunities because of pregnancy or a related condition, contact our San Francisco pregnant employee rights lawyers.
San Francisco whistleblower laws like the Whistleblower Protection Act shield employees who report illegal or unethical conduct. However, some employers are angry enough about being reported to retaliate anyway. If this has happened to you, we may be able to help you recover compensation.
Equal pay laws in San Francisco ensure that employees who perform the same work are paid the same wages. Nonetheless, some employers compensate workers differently based on their race, sex, or other protected characteristics. Our attorneys for equal pay can help recover the compensation you’re entitled to.
If you’re looking to file a workplace retaliation claim, San Francisco generally requires you to file an administrative complaint first. Our workplace retaliation lawyers can walk you through this process and subsequently help you file a lawsuit if you choose.
Although laws on sex discrimination prohibit employers from treating employees differently based on sex, some unscrupulous workplaces still engage in these practices and hope no one will notice. Our sex discrimination lawyers in San Francisco have helped clients expose these employers and recover damages for their hardship.
Family and medical leave rights laws ensure that workers won’t lose their jobs if they must suddenly deal with a serious medical problem, either their own or that of a family member. If your employer is refusing you job-protected leave, turn to our attorneys for family and medical leave rights.

Record breaking jury verdict for the largest Race Discrimination case in US history ($137,000,000)
Owen Diaz brought a race harassment case against Tesla, Inc. under the Civil Rights Act of 1866 because he was forced to endure widespread use of the N-word and other racist conduct. A Jury has found that from 2015 to 2016, Mr. Diaz was subjected to severe and pervasive racial harassment. He was called the N-word over sixty times by supervisors and he was told to “go back to Africa.”
One supervisor left a picaninny drawing on some recycled cardboard near the elevators where Mr. Diaz would find it. Mr. Diaz saw racist graffiti in multiple bathrooms throughout Tesla’s Fremont, CA factory.

Sexual Harassment
Some people believe sexism in the workplace is a thing of the past. Unfortunately, any sexual harassment lawyer in San Francisco can tell you that workplace harassment is more of a problem than most people would like to believe.
In some instances, employees facing harassment don’t report it because they fear they’ll be fired in retaliation. However, employers who do this can face serious legal penalties. An attorney for sexual harassment can help you hold your employer accountable for misconduct and advocate for you to recover the damages you deserve.

Racial Discrimination
California and the rest of the nation may have made major strides toward racial equality, but racial discrimination lawyers in San Francisco know that many employers still engage in racial discrimination on some level.
Whether it’s refusing to hire certain people based on race, making racist comments, or other unacceptable behaviors, you shouldn’t have to tolerate a discriminatory workplace.
San Francisco racial discrimination laws impose stiff penalties on workplaces that discriminate. Your employer may be ordered to pay administrative penalties and compensate you for the maltreatment you’ve endured.

You don’t have to navigate your employment discrimination case on your own. California Civil Rights Law Group is committed to providing fierce representation, but we always take the time to support and guide clients through the legal process.
Workplace Retaliation
Work retaliation attorneys help workers navigate challenging situations. Retaliation at work comes in many forms, but it often involves firing, demotion, creating a hostile work environment, or other adverse actions because an employee reported illegal conduct. Some employers will even retaliate if an employee serves on a jury or engages in other protected activities.
If you’ve been harmed by workplace retaliation, employment lawyers can help you seek an appropriate legal remedy. California Civil Rights Law Group has advocated for countless clients in situations similar to the one you’re in.

Disability Rights
Disability law in San Francisco is meant to ensure that businesses don’t deny opportunities to qualified people because they have a disability. However, some employers see even the slightest accommodations as onerous, and they engage in illegal discrimination as a result.
If you’ve been discriminated against based on your disability, turn to a San Francisco disability rights attorney. The right lawyer can help you file an administrative complaint or pursue a formal lawsuit against the offending employer.

Family and Medical Leave Rights
The national Family Medical Leave Act and San Francisco Family Rights Act were established to ensure that employees wouldn’t be fired based on personal or family medical issues. Medical leave laws require employers to grant workers job-protected leave if their medical situations meet certain criteria.
Some employers decide that offering this kind of leave is inconvenient, and they take advantage of the fact that not everyone knows their rights. If you’ve been denied the leave you’re legally entitled to, a Family Medical Leave Act attorney may be able to help you recover compensation or seek other legal remedies.
