EEOC Attorney in Fresno

Federal Discrimination Claims for Employees & Employers

Attorney Charles Manock brings more than 30 years of employment law experience to every EEOC matter we handle. Whether you're an employee who needs to file a charge of discrimination or an employer who just received one, we guide clients through every stage of the federal complaint process across Fresno, Tulare, and Madera counties.

An EEOC charge is the required first step before a federal discrimination lawsuit can proceed. The laws enforced through this process, including Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, carry strict deadlines and procedural requirements that affect everything from the strength of a claim to the options available after the agency closes its investigation.

Why Clients Choose Manock Law for EEOC Matters

Not every employment firm in Fresno represents both sides of an EEOC charge. We do. That dual perspective gives us clearer insight into how the opposing party is likely to respond, whether we're building a charge for an employee or preparing a position statement for an employer.

Types of EEOC Claims We Handle

Our employment law practice covers the full range of workplace disputes that can lead to EEOC charges. If you've experienced or been accused of any of the following, we can help you determine whether a federal charge applies and how it intersects with California state law.

Common grounds for EEOC charges include:

• Discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age (40 and older), disability, or genetic information
• Harassment that creates a hostile work environment or results in an adverse employment action
• Wrongful Termination motivated by a protected characteristic or in retaliation for protected activity
• Retaliation against an employee for filing a charge, participating in an EEOC investigation, or opposing discriminatory practices

California's Fair Employment and Housing Act covers employers with as few as five employees for most protected categories, while federal thresholds start at 15. That gap means some Fresno workers have a viable state claim through the California Civil Rights Department even when federal law doesn't apply. As your EEOC attorney in Fresno, we evaluate both pathways during your consultation so opportunities for relief aren't overlooked.
