On the surface, the Family and Medical Leave Act seems like a complicated law. However, it is also very employee-friendly. It is available to allow people to stay home from work for sick family members, for pregnancy or for employees who are sick or injured themselves.

Unfortunately, some employers do not want to follow the law. They take advantage of its complicated nature to deny employees their right to FMLA time off. We will not stand for this. Our lawyers will work to see that your employer follows the law appropriately and you get the time off you need to take care of yourself or your family.

In other cases, employers will approve Family and Medical Leave Act time off, but when the employee returns to work they will find themselves penalized for using it. In some cases, employees are even told that they no longer have a job. In other cases, the employer engages in some form of retaliation. We will not allow this to happen.
