I would trust Jillian with any legal matter. She is thorough and can help anyone understand their legal rights.

I had the pleasure of working with Jillian when I had an incident at my daughter’s school where her confidentiality rights were violated. Jillian stepped in, did lots of research, told me how to communicate to get a meeting, and prepared me to stand up for my daughter. I have never felt so confident going into a meeting before. My husband and I were able to communicate clearly where the violations were and quickly get a resolution to the problem. I would trust Jillian with any legal matter. She is thorough and can help anyone understand their legal rights. I am so grateful I reached out to Jillian, and I know she will work hard for you too.

An attorney can explain your rights and list potential legal remedies if your employer has retaliated against you for requesting reasonable disability accommodations. A lawyer can help you determine whether you are eligible for financial compensation for losses you suffered because of your employer’s wrongdoing, such as backpay, interest, or job reinstatement. 

An attorney can use winning legal strategies to achieve the best possible case result based on your goals. You won’t have to worry about going up against your employer or communicating with insurance claims adjusters; your attorney will handle these tasks for you. A lawyer will make sure your best interests are protected as you assert your rights under state and federal disability laws.

Protection From Retaliation: Know Your Rights in California

Multiple state and federal laws protect you as a worker with a physical and/or mental disability in San Diego. This includes the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), California Labor Code, and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). 

By law, you are protected from all forms of disability discrimination in the workplace. This includes adverse employment action taken against you because you requested accommodations (modifications to the way things are usually done) to enable you to apply for a job, perform your job, or enjoy the benefits and privileges of employment.

State and federal laws require employers to provide reasonable accommodations for job applicants and employees with disabilities, as long as doing so does not cause “undue hardship” for the employer. If an employer refuses to make these accommodations or retaliates against you for requesting them, this is an unlawful type of disability discrimination.
