Age discrimination is common in the workplace, and evidence of its existence can be subtle. How can you determine whether the treatment or change in employment you have experienced at work relates to your age? And who can investigate your situation, apply 30 years of employment law experience to the facts, and provide aggressive legal help?
At the Long Beach and Los Angeles, California, employment law firm of Lyon Law, attorney Geoff Lyon has handled many cases involving employees in the Los Angeles area who suspected age discrimination at work. Mr. Lyon is a member of the California and National Employment Lawyers Associations, has appeared in court approximately 1,000 times, and has taken numerous cases to trial. If you face age discrimination at work, we can help.

Many reasons are given by employers for actions taken against older people, and their actions are often illegal. For instance:
- Is your company downsizing? Older people often make more money than their younger colleagues, and age discrimination is a common way to trim the budget.
- Are you older and ill, or do you have an ill family member? Employers sometimes see older people who are ill or who have ill family members as “unreliable” or “disloyal” employees who drive up company medical expenses.
Often, an employer’s decision is based on age bias: shifting an older employee to an unfavorable schedule, removing responsibilities, voicing excessive criticism or suddenly drafting poor performance reviews.
