QUESTION
I was terminated from my job and I feel like I was discriminated against based on race (possibly age). How do I know if I have a case?

More details to this question:
I worked for a company who terminated myself (and 7 others at my level) and we are all white, American males. They retained several other employees who are from Latin America but clearly did not live up to employment standards/expectations when it came to performance. They continue to underperform as well. The company is based out of New York, I live in California, and the company operates all over the United States. Do I need an attorney in New York? Do I have a potential case?

You most likely would need to retain counsel in the state of California. Discuss your case with California counsel.

If you performed services in California you probably need to consult a California licensed employment lawyer. Reverse discrimination is exceptionally challenging but California laws may provide other protection possibly seniority. Saving money would be a legitimate reason in many cases. Consult counsel.
