Los Angeles Age Discrimination Lawyer
Protecting Employees From Age-Based Discrimination and Unfair Treatment
If you’ve been treated unfairly at work because of your age, you may have the right to take legal action.
The Law Offices of Adam C. Rapaport represents employees across Los Angeles who are dealing with age discrimination, wrongful termination, and unfair workplace treatment. We help workers understand their rights and take action when employers make decisions based on age rather than qualifications or performance.
If you believe your age played a role in how you were treated at work, speaking with an age discrimination lawyer can help you understand your options. No fees unless we win.
You Don’t Have to Accept Age Discrimination
Employers may make decisions based on age in subtle ways—such as favoring younger employees, limiting opportunities, or pushing older workers out of their roles. These actions are often disguised as restructuring, performance concerns, or “company culture.”
You are not required to accept age discrimination.
If your treatment at work changed as you got older or you were treated differently than younger employees, it may be worth speaking with an age discrimination attorney about your situation.

- Being replaced by a younger, less experienced employee
- Pressure to retire or step down
- Exclusion from meetings, training, or advancement opportunities
- Comments or remarks about age in the workplace
If you’re unsure whether your situation qualifies, an age discrimination lawyer can help evaluate your case.
