CA Attorney for Discrimination Defense

Posted 3 days ago

Worldwide

Summary

Small CA business. Co-owner made a statement in a private Instagram DM declining to work with people of a certain nationality, replying to an unsolicited business pitch from someone outside our client base. Recipient wasn't actually that nationality; this was clarified in the same chat, which then escalated into a mutually hostile personal argument with remarks from both sides. No transaction, contract, or financial loss occurred. Recipient filed a CRD complaint (Unruh Civil Rights Act). Mediation concluded without settlement; right-to-sue letter issued; CRD Enforcement Division has now reopened investigation. We offered affirmative relief only (adopted non-discrimination policy), no money. Opposing counsel's demands have varied widely without a written demand letter. Need CA attorney experienced in Unruh Act/CRD defense to review file, respond to investigator, and advise on strategy.
