Ohio Pregnancy, Disability, and FMLA Attorneys

Federal law provides certain job protections and rights for pregnant women, people with disabilities, and employees needing to take a family medical leave covered by the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). Unfortunately, some employers try to circumvent the law, denying employees leave or wrongfully discharging them. At Beckman Weil Shepardson LLC, we hold employers accountable for their violations of the law. The pregnancy, disability, and FMLA lawyers at our firm utilize all resources, including the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), to investigate violations and pursue those who refuse to adhere to the law. We subpoena company information, interview witnesses, and expose non-compliance.

Don’t settle for anything less than your rights under the law – contact the Ohio pregnancy, disability, and FMLA lawyers at Beckman Weil Shepardson LLC today. Located in Cincinnati, we provide free consultations for clients throughout Greater Cincinnati, including West Chester, Hyde Park, Fairfield, Hamilton, and Mt. Lookout, as well as in the Kentucky cities of Florence, Covington, and Newport.

Asserting Your Rights under Federal Law

At Beckman Weil Shepardson LLC, we advise, counsel, and represent employees in disputes with employers involving the following laws:

• Americans with Disability Act (ADA)
• Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
• Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA)
• Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)
• Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA)

Discrimination Comes in Different Forms

Most employers are aware of what the law requires of them regarding employment discrimination and harassment.  Rather than tell a pregnant woman they do not want to promote her, employers try to find excuses that sound plausible. As discrimination lawyers, we have heard almost every excuse imaginable. We subpoena and review company records carefully. We also evaluate the qualifications of our client against those of others and the requirements of a job. We depose office managers and human resources personnel, to ascertain and highlight discrepancies and decisions not firmly based in job descriptions and requirements.

Understanding the Requirements of Federal Law

Almost everyone is familiar with companies forcing employees to work off the clock in order to meet certain internal company goals. Unfortunately, finding ways to circumvent federal law is not uncommon when employers face time, resources, and money constraints. At Beckman Weil Shepardson LLC, we vigilantly defend the rights of disabled, sick, and pregnant employees who are guaranteed certain protections and rights under federal law. We also work to protect the wage and hour rules of the FLSA. Our comprehensive knowledge of the law means that we know what sorts of obligations employers have in meeting the needs of disabled people, pregnant women, and workers who need to take an FMLA leave.
