Too many workplaces look at a person’s age rather than their skills, abilities, and attitudes. Age discrimination can see long-time employees being forced out the door, and young workers being denied a chance to show what they can do. If you’re facing age discrimination, an Orange County age discrimination lawyer can help.
California Employment Counsel, APC, has an impressive record of success advocating for victims of discrimination in the workplace. We can help you pursue damages for lost earnings, emotional distress, and other hardships. An Orange County age discrimination attorney from our firm can provide support for those who have been overlooked, underappreciated, or treated poorly because of their age.
Age discrimination takes many forms, hurting older employees financially and attacking their self-worth. Common forms of age discrimination include:
If you have experienced any of these harmful actions at work, our lawyers can help you explore your legal options. We are well-versed in California and federal age discrimination laws, so we can advocate for your rights. We can manage all aspects of your age discrimination case, from assessing the evidence and filing claims to providing direct representation in all court hearings.
Age discrimination, like all forms of workplace discrimination, can happen blatantly or subtly. It’s on the accuser to demonstrate evidence of the matter beyond a reasonable doubt, and this can be much easier when you hire an age discrimination lawyer to help you.
Our firm can use our knowledge of age discrimination laws, such as the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), combined with our proven case experience, to help you discover and collect evidence. Examples of proof include:
All of these qualities can indicate that age-based discrimination is taking place. Our firm can help you analyze situations, policies, and workplace changes to pick up on even the smallest signs of unfair treatment. In doing so, you can prevent injustice from impacting your professional life and stand up for your rights as a worker.
An age discrimination case must have strong evidence to back it, and our law firm knows how to gather this information and present it in a strategic manner. Even if you feel unfairly targeted or overwhelmed by the mistreatment, our team can help you pursue justice at your workplace.
Our services are available to workers of all ages. If you feel like unfair treatment has stunted your professional potential, even slightly, reach out to us to see if you have grounds for an age discrimination case.
One reason a person may feel hesitant to pursue an age discrimination case is that they feel alone. However, this problem plagues many companies and marginalizes competent, capable workers every day. Labor force participation in California is around 80 percent for workers deemed to be in the “prime age range” of 25-54.
California is known as a state for young workers, with the median age in recent years being 37.8. However, this doesn’t mean that it’s okay to discriminate against older workers. Those who are older can still contribute to a workplace, and the law says they should be judged on factors like skill and individual contributions, rather than what age group they belong to.
However, discrimination can happen to young workers too. While a person’s age doesn’t automatically guarantee them a promotion, and these decisions are largely left up to the discretion of company management, some people worry that being young is putting them in an unfair position where they can’t get new opportunities.
Young people make up about 12% of the workforce, but some fear they will be stuck in lower-paying wages because they are stereotyped as inexperienced or incapable due to their age. If you’re in this situation, a lawyer from our firm can help you explore your legal options.

An employee’s contributions go far beyond their age. If a workplace has reduced you to a number rather than a worker, you may have legal options. Rather than feeling overwhelmed by the situation and accepting the unfair treatment, reach out to stand up for your rights.
