At Hadsell Stormer Renick & Dai LLP, we are proven, determined defenders of people’s rights under the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) as well as specific protections afforded by California state law. Our lawyers’ efforts over the past several decades have covered the spectrum of pregnancy discrimination and actions against people who took leaves from work to care for a seriously ill child or other family member.

Have You Experienced Denial of Family Leave or Retaliation?

Common Violations of Family and Medical Leave Laws Include:

• Denial of a person’s right to an unpaid or partially paid leave for the birth or adoption of a child, his or her own serious health condition, or that of an immediate family member
• Termination or the threat of other employment retaliation for taking a qualified leave
• Denial of promotions or other unfair treatment after taking a leave

We settled four cases on behalf of longtime employees of a major Southern California employer who were terminated for taking family leave, resulting in a combined settlement of over $2 million.

Free Consultation: Discuss Your Pregnancy Discrimination Case

If you believe you were denied advancement or terminated because you became pregnant or had a pregnancy-related disability, we want to hear about it. Too many employers still believe that women will not be able to give their job the same commitment once they have kids, will not be willing to travel, or should not come back to work full time. In all these situations, we want to be the law firm you can trust for sound guidance and strong representation if you have a valid claim.

Our attorneys are prepared to thoroughly assess whether you have been a victim of family, medical, or pregnancy leave violations and explain your rights. We are versed in the details of both California and federal law; experienced in employment litigation at all levels, including the U.S. Supreme Court; and committed to staying informed on precedent-setting cases and their outcomes. We also handle disability cases involving failure to accommodate an employee’s disability.

Advocating for Your Family’s Rights and Well-Being

We adamantly believe that discrimination or retaliation against someone for prioritizing critical family needs harms the individual, the family, and the community. Employers that ignore these laws or try to circumvent them must be held accountable — and we know how to attack their attempts to cite business needs or technicalities they may claim set their treatment of you outside the law.

No worker should be denied a reasonable level of accommodation for their family obligations. The level of protection our laws provide may depend on many circumstances of your case, but we encourage you to put those considerations in our hands.
