Employment Discrimination & Harassment

Mistreated at Work? We May Be Able to Help.

Your employer and your co-workers do not have a right to discriminate against you or harass you based on your race, your gender, your religion or any other similar factor. If you have been mistreated in this way, you may have a claim for employment discrimination.

At the Law Office of Jeffrey A. Silvia in Stockton, California, we help wronged employees pursue actions for employment discrimination and sexual harassment.

Standing Up for Your Right to Be Free From Discrimination

Generally, unless you have an employment contract that says otherwise, your employer can fire you, pay you differently from other employees, or refuse to promote you for any reason. However, those decisions cannot be made based on factors like:

  • Sex and gender
  • Race and national origin
  • Religion
  • Disability status

Your employer can also be held accountable for employment discrimination for allowing a hostile work environment to exist. A hostile work environment is one where, due to one of the above listed factors, you are made to feel so uncomfortable that it is difficult for you to continue working there.

If you have been mistreated at work based on some aspect of your personal identity, we can help you determine whether you may have a case for employment discrimination. If so, we will build the strongest possible case for the full compensation you deserve.

Fighting Sexual Harassment by Employers and Co-Workers

Sexual harassment in the workplace is considered a type of gender discrimination. If you've been offered money or advancement in return for consenting to sexual behavior, if you have had your job threatened to coerce you into agreeing to sex, or if sexual harassment in your workplace has created a hostile work environment, we can help.

Don't hesitate to contact us to consult attorney Jeffrey Silvia about any concerns you may have about racial discrimination, sexual harassment or any other form of employment discrimination in your workplace.
