Employer-wide discrimination cases require statistical evidence and comparators.
Pattern-or-practice cases under the FEHA can be brought individually or on a representative basis. Statistical evidence, HR data, promotion records, and pay data all become discoverable in litigation.
What we handle in these cases.
When employer discrimination practices cases come into the firm, they usually break down into a few recurring patterns.
- Case intake and initial evaluation
- Evidence preservation and demand letter
- Negotiation, mediation, or arbitration
- Litigation and trial preparation when needed
What California law says.
California statutes, applicable Labor Code sections, and controlling case law govern each of these claims. Deadlines vary. Free consultation covers the specific statute of limitations for your situation.
If the same thing happened to your colleagues that happened to you, the case may be bigger than your individual claim.
How the case actually gets built.
Every case John accepts follows the same structural approach. Preserve the evidence early. Interview witnesses while memory is fresh. Get the documentary record — HR file, medical records, police reports, ELD data, surveillance video — under a preservation letter before it disappears. Frame the case for trial from day one, even if it settles at mediation months later.
Employer Discrimination Practices cases at the firm follow the same discipline that runs through every John Ramirez case: preserve evidence early, build the case around the documentary record, and prepare for trial even if the case will settle. Trial preparation is what generates leverage at mediation.
Fees and timeline.
Contingency fee. No fee unless we recover.
Pattern cases require patience and statistical work. But when a company operates a discriminatory system, one plaintiff can move it for everyone.
