LGBT Discrimination and Your Rights

California LGBT Discrimination Lawyer

You Are No Less Equal

If you have been treated unfairly, discriminated against, harassed or assaulted because of your actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity, you do have rights. You are not less equal, but you may need to take your fight to court so the employer or business, service provider or landlord understands California's LGBT discrimination laws and changes their behavior.

When you are in for a fight, take an experienced trial lawyer with you into the courtroom. Contact The Dolan Law Firm. We help put the 'fair' back in 'fair fight.' We have taken — and won — LGBT rights cases involving:

  • Gender orientation discrimination
  • Retaliation and wrongful termination
  • Sexual orientation harassment
  • Housing discrimination
  • Discrimination in the provision of medical services

We’re not afraid to tackle high-profile cases, like our recent civil rights filing on behalf of Lana Lawless, a professional golfer, and transgender female seeking to join the tour of the Ladies Professional Golf Association tournament.
