Age Discrimination

Fullerton, California, Age Discrimination Attorneys

In California, if you are over 40 years of age, you are protected by the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA). The ADEA makes it illegal for companies with more than 20 employees to discriminate against employees who are over 40 years of age. The ADEA offers protection in hiring, firing and promoting practices.

If you have reason to believe you were the victim of age discrimination at work, talk to a lawyer from Gigliotti & Gigliotti.
