At the Law Office of David C. Winton, we handle discrimination and harassment claims for employees and employers throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, San Francisco, and the I-80 corridor to Lake Tahoe.

This perspective has helped us achieve an outstanding record of success representing plaintiffs and defendants.

If you are an employer facing a discrimination or harassment claim, we can provide you with strong defense representation, helping you pursue a swift, cost-effective outcome. We have a proven record of success resolving employment law claims in and out of court.

Discrimination

Employees are protected from discrimination based on certain protected characteristics, including:

• Race
• Age
• Sex
• Pregnancy status
• National origin
• Disability
• Ethnicity

Employers may not discriminate against employees based on these characteristics in any way, including hiring, termination, promotion, work assignments and other employment matters.

Sexual Harassment

Sexual harassment claims typically fall into one of two categories:

• Quid pro quo harassment: Overt demands for sexual favors in exchange for favorable treatment at work
• Hostile work environment: Includes all types of offensive behavior, including unwanted touching, lewd comments, and sexually suggestive jokes and pictures

We have significant experience handling sexual harassment claims for plaintiffs and defendants.

Retaliation

It is illegal for employers to retaliate against employees who complain, testify or cooperate in any way with a discrimination or harassment claim.
