California LGBT Rights Lawyers

Gay Civil Rights Advocates

More than most other states, California has laws that protect civil rights on the basis of sexual orientation the same as other protected classes, such as age, race, and sex. You may have even heard of some of these laws such as, the Fair Employment and Housing Act, the Unruh Civil Rights Act and the Ralph Civil Rights Act. If you have been the object of discrimination, the fact that the law exists gives little comfort if you can't enforce it without jeopardizing your job or your family. At our office, The Dolan Law Firm, located in San Francisco, we are dedicated to giving GLBTQ people that enforcement power along with all others.
