Sacramento Age Discrimination Lawyers
Combatting Age Discrimination on the Job in Sacramento & the Surrounding Areas
Were you denied a promotion at work after noticing that only people in their 20s and 30s had been promoted repeatedly? Has a manager openly expressed a goal of making the company “younger” through the hiring and advancement of younger employees? Worse, were you let go from your job for no reason that you could detect besides your age?
As the saying goes, where there’s smoke, there is fire. Whatever form of age discrimination you have experienced deserves a closer look. An important first step to discovering the truth and legal remedies for your situation is to consult with an attorney.
