DFEH Violations
Although the DFEH is a California agency and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is a federal agency, both may handle these types of complaints against California employers. However, under DFEH you only have one year from the date of the last incident to file a complaint with this agency.
Our lawyers will actively help you pursue your case for a wide spectrum of DFEH violations, including:
When you come to Bohn & Bohn, LLP, we will help you file a complaint with the DFEH and we will answer any questions you have about the forms and the process required by the DFEH. We will also help you request a 'right to sue' letter. Once this letter is issued, you will have one year to file a lawsuit against your employer.
Although the DFEH may conduct its own investigation, this evidence is not admissible in court in a civil suit, though it may be useful in aiding our own research to build your case. Our attorneys know how to navigate the DFEH process properly and how to preserve your claims for the subsequent civil action so that you can move on to litigation successfully. We know how to pursue these lawsuits in state court, including who to name as defendants.
