Riverside Workplace Discrimination Lawyer

Experiencing discrimination in the workplace can leave you questioning not just your employer’s actions, but your own judgment. Many employees come to us unsure whether what happened was truly unlawful or just “how business operates.” At Nosrati Law, we listen carefully and give you honest feedback about your situation. Our firm is focused exclusively on employment law, with a deep team of talented and dedicated lawyers who understand how discrimination manifests in modern workplaces.

Serving employees in Riverside and throughout Southern California since 2003, our attorneys have 40+ years of combined experience. We know these cases are personal. Behind every claim is a person who showed up, did their job, and expected fair treatment in return. We’re personally passionate about the cases we take and believe in the people behind them. When accountability is achieved, it’s not just a legal win, it’s a personal one.

Proving Pretext in Discrimination Cases: How We Uncover the Real Reason for Your Firing

Employers rarely, if ever, admit to discrimination outright. Instead, they point to neutral-sounding explanations like “performance issues,” “policy violations,” or “company restructuring.” The legal question becomes whether that explanation is genuine or a pretext, meaning a cover story for unlawful bias.

One of the most effective ways to expose pretext is through discovery, the formal evidence-gathering process that allows our attorneys to demand documents, emails, policies, and testimony from the employer. This is where experience matters. As lawyers who understand workplace discrimination, we know what to ask for and what patterns to look for.

A key tool is comparator evidence. This involves identifying similarly situated employees who have similar roles, responsibilities, and disciplinary histories and comparing how they were treated.

For example, if an employee is terminated for a minor infraction, but coworkers of a different race, gender, age, or protected status engaged in the same conduct and faced little or no discipline, that disparity can be powerful proof of discrimination.

We also examine performance reviews, sudden changes in evaluations, and the timing of adverse actions. A glowing record followed by abrupt “performance problems” after a protected disclosure or status change often raises red flags. Internal communications can be especially revealing, showing whether decision-makers discussed an employee differently than they claimed later.

Nosrati Law has repeatedly observed these tactics. We know how to test whether an employer explanation truly holds water, and we know how to methodically tear it down when the evidence tells a different story. Discrimination cases are often built by connecting small inconsistencies into a clear, compelling narrative.

Taking the Next Step Toward Accountability

If you believe you were treated differently because of who you are, our workplace discrimination lawyers are here to evaluate your case, explain the process, and advocate for you. We work on contingency and offer virtual consultations, making it possible to pursue justice without adding financial strain during an already difficult time.
