Fakhimi & Associates Successfully Resolves Reverse Discrimination Case Against California Public Employer.

Fakhimi & Associates recently secured a settlement on behalf of a Caucasian female employee in a reverse discrimination case against a Southern California governmental agency. The case involved allegations of discriminatory treatment by supervisors and other agency personnel, including individuals in senior management positions.

Reverse discrimination claims can present unique legal and practical challenges and are sometimes met with reluctance by attorneys who primarily handle more traditional employment discrimination cases. At Fakhimi & Associates, we believe that every individual is entitled to the same protections under California’s employment laws, regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, or background.

Our firm has never shied away from challenging or unconventional cases. We evaluate each matter on its individual merits and are committed to pursuing legitimate claims of workplace discrimination, even when they fall outside the more commonly encountered circumstances.

A big shout-out to my good friend, true patriot, and fellow Super Lawyer, Chris Jafari, for generously sharing with me a draft of his successful motion to withdraw a guilty plea entered without the client being properly advised of the immigration consequences of the plea.

After nearly a year of litigation, we were able to successfully set aside the guilty plea, clearing the way for our client to pursue a change in her immigration status and remain in the United States with her family—including her daughter, who proudly serves in the United States Navy.

Villarreal v. Texas (Feb 2026), is a decision by the SCOTUS holding that a defendant's rights to consult with his or her lawyer during an evening recess while testifying in court can be limited, and such limitation is not a violation of the defendant's Sixth Amendment rights. The Supreme Court resolved a circuit split by establishing that banning attorney-client discussion during an overnight break, but only regarding the testimony itself, is not a violation of the Sixth Amendment. However, attorneys and clients must still be allowed to confer on broader issues, like strategy, plea negotiations, and witness availability.
