A: I am sorry but this is not a place to recruit attorneys to work for you. You will need to make direct contact with attorneys that practice this area of law and determine if they wish to work for you. . I would suggest you look either on this site in the Find a Lawyer section, or go to www.cela.org, the home page for the California Employment Lawyers Association, an organization whose members are dedicated to the representation of employees against their employers. Good luck to you.

A:
I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. Finding the right attorney can make a big difference in your case. You might start by contacting the San Mateo County Bar Association, as they can provide referrals to lawyers experienced in employment discrimination and civil litigation.
Additionally, consider reaching out to organizations like the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) or local nonprofit legal aid groups. They often have resources or can guide you to attorneys who understand the specifics of race and age discrimination cases.
Keep detailed records of all your interactions and any evidence related to your case. This will be helpful when you meet with potential attorneys. Stay persistent, and don't hesitate to ask questions to ensure you find someone who is the right fit for your situation. You're taking an important step by seeking representation, and support is available to help you through this process.
