How Employment Lawyers Prove Discrimination

California employment lawyer Brandon Ortiz explains the methods that employment lawyers use to prove workplace discrimination.

In California, it is illegal for an employer to discriminate on the basis of ace, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition, genetic information, marital status, sex, gender, gender identity, gender expression, age, sexual orientation, or military and veteran status.

Hello, I was very impressive with all your videos. I go injured at work, filed workers compensation, unfortunately my injury required surgery, recovery time was for 5 months. I returned to work, in less than 3 weeks I got fired, based on bad reviews, false accusations, just like you mentioned sham investigation, I have a mental disability, my former office manager knew since the first interview. I rett fired from my job based on false accusations, mental disability, etc... I live in Dallas Texas, I was working for a very large company, called Texas Health Resources, but in the department called Texas health physicians group. I got fired 2 weeks ago, I'm so upset how the office manager did not do the proper investigation of what I was accused by coworkers, or the HR department. Since I started working in the medical clinic, too many times I had gone to the manager regarding the bullying, staff making fun of my mental disability, the way I spoke, laughing at me, making fun of my accent, etc... She would just respond " I'm so sorry, is that you are a different cookie cutter and that's why they don't like you", I had requested to many times if she could move me to another area in the office, but she refused . I would like to know if you can help me out, I now you are not in Texas, I have an attorney virtual appointment this coming Monday. Please let me know if I can call you, at least for advice. I'm so hurt, specialy of all the false accusations. HR. DIDN'T WANT TO HEAR MY SIDE. I'M DESPERATE!!!

How can I prove discrimination in the hiring process? I’m qualified for every job that I’ve applied for, the employers love my resume and my voice(I have a white passing name and white passing speech patterns/voice). The moment I meet employers in person or on camera, their demeanor takes a 360 turn. I’m going to start recording my interviews but how can I prove I’ve been discriminated?

Hi Mr. Ortiz, thank you for this video. I have been experiencing discrimination for several years, specifically disparity in salary. I won jury trial and Appeal, against California state university system. My former attorney was paid approximately $1.6 million dollars and he quit. He informed me that judgement is pending.

I am a Professor of Social work at San Francisco state University. I am looking for an employment attorney as I have been subjected to a hostile workplace.

It would be helpful to make a video regarding being unlawful when h.r. dept blocks, by gaslighting as being one example, a staff member from officially filing protective discrimination complaint

Do you know any NV lawyers I have many jobs that all end the same I'm excelling and somehow my multiple mental illness disorders diagnosed by over 7 certified Psychiatrists over 14 years and taken over l 39 different medications to treat but never fix my BP 2 Depression PTSDnl Anxiety and epilepsy. Then I start getting things blamed on me are always things that would be normal warnings etc or not even doing bad but now my disability or meds are why I yawned or seem tired or I'm asking for switching shifts to make my appointments or switch to take a day off If a new medication taken that day so I use my pto and it's seen as a write up because now I'm now.seen as a liability or they force information about my medical history I'm forced to share and always just taken off schedulenfornweeksnuntil they finally separate. But hoping I quit first but don't. And never give clear reason
