Fighting for Fairness for Older Workers in Southern California Workplaces
Have you been treated unfairly at work because of your age? You’re not alone—and you’re not without legal options. At KF Law, we represent workers in Los Angeles and throughout Southern California who have experienced age discrimination on the job.
California law protects workers over 40 from being denied opportunities, harassed, or fired because of their age. If you suspect your employer has discriminated against you, our experienced age discrimination lawyers are ready to help.
What Is Age Discrimination?
Age discrimination occurs when an employer treats an employee or job applicant less favorably because of their age—typically when they are 40 years or older. This type of discrimination is illegal under both California and federal law.
Examples of age discrimination in the workplace include:
-
Being passed over for a promotion in favor of a younger, less qualified employee
-
Termination or layoff based on “early retirement” pressure
-
Being told you’re “overqualified” for positions you’re fully capable of performing
-
Exclusion from training, projects, or meetings
-
Derogatory comments about age or assumptions about your ability to adapt to technology
-
Sudden performance criticism after years of positive reviews
-
Not being hired because a company wants a “younger image”
If any of these situations sound familiar, your employer may have violated the law.

-
