Gender Discrimination Deserves Justice

I am in your corner to get you the fair treatment you deserve

I am in your corner to get the fair treatment you deserve. Experiencing gender discrimination at work is incredibly stressful, especially when facing powerful employers. If you’ve been discriminated against in violation of California law, I will stand by your side to fight for your rights and hold your employer accountable for their actions.

Understanding Gender Discrimination

I will help you understand your rights and protections under California law

Gender discrimination occurs when an employer treats an employee differently based on their gender, gender identity, gender expression, or sexual orientation. California law defines gender as “a person’s sex, including the person’s gender identity and gender-related appearance and behavior, regardless of whether it is stereotypically associated with the person’s assigned sex at birth.”

Protected characteristics under California law: 

  • Sex and gender 
  • Gender Identity/Expression 
  • Sexual Orientation 
  • Pregnancy and Childbirth 
  • Breastfeeding

  • I could truly go on and on about this AMAZING WOMAN. I was clueless and so scared reaching out to a lawyer about my case. But Jillian was with me through every step. She was so thorough and had no problems explaining anything I didn’t understand. She made me feel os so much value and I am so grateful for her. In the end I won my settlement. Because of her legal expertise, I always refer everyone to her.
