Race Discrimination Attorneys Representing Employees In San Bernardino And Beyond
Despite the best efforts of individuals and government agencies, racial discrimination still exists in the workplace and other parts of life. These acts of discrimination can have a profound financial and emotional cost. Even when employers blatantly discriminate against employees on the basis of race, they will typically deny that they acted illegally. For these and other reasons, if you have been harmed by job discrimination based on your race, it is critical to have knowledgeable legal counsel on your side.
We are the employment law attorneys at SANFORD A. KASSEL, A Professional Law Corporation. From our offices based in San Bernardino, we serve employees across Southern California in all types of discrimination claims, including race discrimination claims. We will work tirelessly to vindicate our clients’ rights.
