Consultation

Sometimes all you need is to understand what kind of leave you might be eligible for or how to request it. You can discuss these questions, and your options, with an attorney by scheduling a consultation.

Discrimination for Taking Leave

If you were fired after taking or asking for leave, you may have been discriminated against. The attorneys at Berke-Weiss Law can negotiate with your former employer on your behalf about your claims.

Litigation

While most cases settle before any lawsuits are filed, we have engaged in forceful litigation in state and federal courts and can help you understand what litigation might entail.

Denied Family Leave

If you believe you were wrongfully denied paid family leave by your employer, you may wish to engage an attorney to understand your rights and options going forward.
