Former California Farmers Insurance agents Filed Age Discrimination Suit

In the case represented by Rob Schwartz, Attorney with Advocate’s friend and client Gwilliam, Ivary, Chiosso, Cavalli and Brewer, Farmers terminated the seasoned agents between June 2018 and April 2020, taking the businesses the agents had spent years building and giving them to younger agents.  “I have spent over 30+ years building my book of business as a top-notch Farmers Insurance agent. But for my age, this would never be happening to me.” (Thomas Mortensen, Former Farmers Agent, Concord, CA)
