Frequently Asked Questions
What civil rights protections apply to California residents?
California provides some of the strongest civil rights protections in the nation. The California Unruh Civil Rights Act prohibits discrimination in business establishments based on race, sex, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, disability, and other characteristics. The California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) extends federal employment discrimination protections and applies to employers with five or more employees. The Ralph Civil Rights Act protects against violence or threats motivated by protected characteristics. An attorney helps determine which state or federal statute applies to a specific situation and what remedies are available.
How does California’s consumer protection law differ from federal law?
California’s consumer protection framework is significantly broader than federal law. The Consumer Legal Remedies Act (CLRA) and Unfair Competition Law (UCL) allow private lawsuits for a wide range of deceptive business practices, with remedies including actual damages, restitution, and injunctive relief. California also allows class action suits more readily than federal courts in some contexts. Debt-related consumer rights — including protections against abusive collection practices — are enhanced under the Rosenthal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, which covers original creditors that federal law does not.
