Devoted to Shattering the Proverbial “Glass Ceiling”

A term that has been coined to refer to an invisible barrier that prevents women, minorities, and others from rising to the upper rungs of employment and corporate success, the glass ceiling has kept millions of hardworking and accomplished professionals from achieving their dreams.

Examples of unfair workplace discrimination include:

  • Sexual harassment
  • Harassment based on race, color, religion, sex, origin, disability, age, or sexual preference
  • Hiring based on discrimination
  • Transfer, promotion, layoff, or recall based on discrimination
  • Retaliation for filing a charge of discrimination, causing an investigation, or filing a claim
  • Employment decisions that have been based on stereotypes or assumptions
  • Denying employment because of a person’s race, age, disability, religion, or other legally protected characteristics

Unfair workplace behavior, discrimination, and harassment can exist in a multitude of forms. Our firm has successfully represented the victims of nearly all types of discrimination. In fact, in just over two decades, our Ventura attorneys have handled thousands of cases at all levels of state and federal courts. No trial matter is too complex for our firm.
