Age Discrimination Lawyer Orange County
Younger is better. This harmful and untrue concept is espoused by too many employers throughout California and nationwide.

Victims of age discrimination can pursue damages for lost earnings, emotional distress and other hardships.
At California Employment Counsel, APC, our attorneys are strong advocates for those who have been fired, overlooked and unfairly treated due to their age. We can help you understand and assert your rights.
