Civil Rights/Wrongful Termination

San Jose Discrimination/Wrongful Termination Attorneys

State and federal laws prohibit wrongful termination and certain types of discrimination. The lawyers of The Law Firm of Kallis & Associates advocate for clients victimized by these unlawful business practices. We practice throughout the South Bay from our main office in San Jose, California, and we have additional offices in Vancouver, Washington, and Fairbanks, Alaska.

Steps to Take Towards Discrimination Litigation

If you have had your civil rights violated by a wrongful termination, you must follow specific procedures prior to any legal action. First, you must file a statement with the state's anti-discrimination Agency or the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), and put what happened in writing. The agency will investigate and make findings that provide ways to alleviate the problem, or they will provide you with a letter that gives you the right to go forward with litigation. If they do not remedy the situation, contact us immediately.

At The Law Firm of Kallis & Associates, we aggressively represent clients who have had their civil rights violated because of their age, race, gender, national origin, or religion. Once you have exhausted all possible administrative and human resources remedies, we take over the legal matter and speak on your behalf. We will help you maintain your right to protect yourself.

Dangers of Arbitration Clauses in Discrimination Cases

Many private employment agreements contain an arbitration clause. Your employer may characterize that clause as a more efficient option to courtroom litigation. Simply put, it is anything but efficient. Arbitration clauses limit your options to collect what you deserve in an award. We review employment contracts to let you know what you are signing. Entering into an agreement without fully knowing the purpose of the arbitration clause will significantly limit your future legal strategies.
