Find Top Rated Family & Medical Leave (FMLA) Lawyers for your case

The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and similar state laws grant eligible employees unpaid, job-protected leave for certain family and medical reasons. Employers must maintain health benefits and reinstate employees after leave.

• Taking leave for a serious health condition
• Caring for a newborn, adopted, or foster child
• Supporting a family member with a serious illness
• Managing exigencies relating to military service

• Employers denying or delaying leave requests
• Termination or demotion during or after leave
• Interference with intermittent leave rights
• Improper requests for medical documentation

Attorneys advise on eligibility, help employees document leave, and pursue claims for interference or retaliation when rights are violated.

• Filing complaints with the Department of Labor
• Negotiating reinstatement or accommodations
• Litigating for lost wages and benefits
• Coordinating overlapping ADA or state leave rights

Consult counsel before or after leave if your employer resists approval, retaliates, or pressures you to return early.

• Your leave request was denied or delayed
• You were disciplined for taking or requesting leave
• Your employer refuses intermittent leave
• You face demotion or reduced hours after returning
