$120k recovered for maternal leave rights
Background: We helped a client who was fired from her job as a bookkeeper at a medium-sized business after revealing her pregnancy. Upon returning to work from her first maternity leave, she faced resistance when discussing potential leave for her second pregnancy. Her manager expressed concern about frequent absences and labeled her prior leave as excessive. She was ultimately terminated before the birth of her second child for alleged performance issues.
Outcome: When we got involved, we sued the company for retaliation under the Paid Family Leave Act and the FMLA. We ended up winning the case, and recovering approximately $120,000 for the client.
Result:
$120,000

$80k recovered for disability and age discrimination
Background: During a routine doctor’s visit, our client found out that he had a heart condition which required surgery. When he provided the doctor's note to his boss, the response was dismissive, expressing concerns about the financial impact on the company and implying our client was getting too old for the job. The boss suggested delaying the surgery, but when our client insisted on prompt intervention as advised by the doctor, he was terminated from his job.
Outcome: We argued that our client was retaliated against for attempting to exercise his rights under the FMLA, and that he had also been discriminated against due to his disability and his age. We ended up recovering approximately $80,000 for our client.
Result:
$80,000
