Age Discrimination

Taking a stand against workplace discrimination to protect your rights 

Age Discrimination
Deserves Justice

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

Experiencing age 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 Age Discrimination

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

Under California law, employees 40 years of age and older are protected from workplace discrimination based on their age. The Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) prohibits employers from using age as a basis for employment decisions.

Common examples of age discrimination: 

  • Disparate Treatment In Hiring or Firing Due To Age
  • Unequal Treatment in Granting Work-Related Benefits
  • Layoffs Targeting Older Employees
  • Disparate Job Assignments Based On Age
  • Limiting Promotions or Training Opportunities
  • Unequal Compensation Due To Age
  • Harassment or Hostile Work Environment
  • Replacing Older Workers With Younger, Less Experienced Employees
  • Physical or Mental Disability
  • Medical Condition

  • Fairchild Employment was a true godsend for me and my family. I was extremely stressed and ready to give up on my case, when I first met Jillian…We clicked immediately, and I knew everything would work out. It’s rare to meet someone so knowledgeable, relentless, and confident who leads with humanity and empathy. Everything felt easy throughout the time we worked together. I got justice and hopefully, a friend for life. I’m incredibly grateful to have found Jillian and this exceptional practice.

  • No one talks to a lawyer when things are going great, in my time of stress, Jillian was empathetic with me and firm with the other party. Many great lawyers forget not to treat their clients like they’re being cross-examined in court; Jillian has mastered the art of being an aggressive lawyer while being a human being to you as a client.
