Sex and Pregnancy Discrimination

Lawless & Lawless - California Sex Discrimination Attorneys

The employment discrimination attorneys at Lawless & Lawless represent women in sex discrimination, pregnancy discrimination, and retaliation claims. If you believe that you have suffered discrimination on the job on the basis of your sex or for having taken advantage of your rights under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), the California Family Rights Act (CFRA), or the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), contact Lawless & Lawless today.

As women, we can listen to your story with compassion and understanding. As experienced trial lawyers, we can zero in on facts critical to your claim and explain to you your options, your opportunities, and the risks. Claims involving family leave, including maternity leave and time off to care for an elderly parent, are governed by confusing, overlapping state laws. We can help you determine the amount of leave to which you are entitled under your circumstances. We encourage women asserting their rights under the CFRA and the FEHA to consult with an attorney familiar with both statutes so that you understand your rights precisely.

Our sex discrimination attorneys represent women with employment discrimination claims involving:

• Wrongful termination of employment on the basis of sex or gender
• Employer's refusal to grant time off for medical appointments
• Retaliation, including discharge after asserting your rights under state or federal family leave law
• Employer's refusal to accommodate medical conditions, including pregnancy or maternity-related disabilities identified by your physician
• Termination during maternity leave or termination shortly after your return from maternity leave

We also represent women in cases concerning an employer's failure to promote, refusal to hire, or disparate treatment. For further information about our ability to represent you in a sex discrimination or pregnancy discrimination in employment case, contact the California pregnancy rights attorneys at Lawless & Lawless.
