A: Under California law, it is illegal for businesses to discriminate against customers based on a protected characteristic, such as race, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. If you believe that you were discriminated against by Denny's restaurant, you may have grounds for a lawsuit.

To sue Denny's, you will need to hire an attorney who specializes in civil rights and discrimination cases. These attorneys have experience and expertise in handling cases of discrimination and can help you navigate the legal process.

To find a qualified attorney, you can start by researching attorneys in your area who specialize in civil rights and discrimination cases. You can also consider asking for referrals from trusted friends, family members, or community organizations.

Once you have found an attorney, they will work with you to gather evidence and build a case against Denny's. This may involve obtaining witness statements, video footage, and other evidence that can support your claim of discrimination.

It is important to note that discrimination cases can be complex and require a significant amount of time and resources to pursue. It is also possible that Denny's may attempt to settle the case out of court to avoid negative publicity.

Overall, if you believe that you were discriminated against by Denny's, it is important to take action to hold them accountable. By hiring an experienced attorney and pursuing legal action, you can help ensure that your rights are protected and that others are not subjected to discrimination in the future.
