If you believe you were wrongfully fired from your job, our attorneys will review your case to determine if your employer violated federal or state employment laws.

Family and Medical Leave Issues

Under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), eligible employees are entitled to take unpaid, job-protected leave for certain family and medical reasons.
