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.

What is Disability Discrimination?

Disability discrimination refers to treating a worker who has a disability differently or less favorably. It can refer to various types of harassment, unfair practices or work policies, and adverse employment actions taken by employers based on the individual’s disability.

Examples include:

  • Refusing to hire an individual because of a disability
  • Terminating a worker’s employment after learning of a disability
  • Refusing to offer reasonable disability accommodations
  • Delaying requested disability accommodations without a legitimate reason
  • Harassing or demeaning a worker based on his or her disability
  • Retaliating against an employee who requests medical leave

Disability, medical conditions, genetic characteristics, and genetic information are all protected classes, meaning a worker cannot be discriminated against in the workplace because of them. Individuals with physical and mental disabilities are legally protected under the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and various other laws.

Employers in San Diego are required to make reasonable accommodations to enable people with disabilities to perform their jobs and have equal opportunities as workers without disabilities.
