    Los Angeles Leave of Absence Lawyer

    Know & protect your right to take leaves of absence.

    Have you attempted to take a protected leave of absence only to have your employer fire you or take another type of adverse action against you? If so, you may be entitled to compensation. Our Los Angeles leave of absence lawyers at Levin & Nalbandyan, LLP can help you determine if there is legal action to be taken against your employer. Our employment attorneys firmly believe that all employees should be treated fairly and we work hard to ensure that situations involving wronged employees are righted.

    YOUR RIGHTS UNDER FMLA & CFRA

    The Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and California Family Rights Act (CFRA) allows employees to take time up to 12 weeks off from work in a 12-month period for family or health-related reasons. These laws protect employees who have been working for an employer with 50 or more employees and have been working for at least a year. In order to be protected, you must have requested your leave in a timely manner and submitted all of the requested documentation, such as medical documents. During this time, you must not be fired or your job must not be changed unless you have been offered a comparable opportunity.

    More on Employment Law

    Employment issues can often be difficult to come across, especially if there are serious obstacles to overcome such as harassment or discrimination. Fortunately, there are laws that are there to help protect employees in the workplace. It is important that you hire an attorney to help you better understand your rights and your remedies if you have been the victim of a workplace dispute.
    Some individuals fail to take action against employers simply because they don’t know they’re a victim of a volatile workplace or that they have legal options. By speaking with a lawyer and discussing your situation, you can better understand what actions are illegal, what you can do to seek justice, and who is responsible. Then you can understand what you may be entitled to and what else can be done to help get you the compensation you deserve.
    Keep in mind, your employer or whoever is responsible for the workplace harassment or discrimination will most likely have a strong legal team looking out for their best interests. This means you also need strong legal counsel. A lawyer will be there to present the necessary evidence and help you navigate the legal system without concern. An attorney can help you fill out the proper paperwork, meet deadlines, and work towards a favorable resolution. Our Los Angeles employee rights attorneys at Levin & Nalbandyan, LLP are committed to the rights of employees who have been the victim of workplace discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination, wage and hour disputes, and more.
    Our Los Angeles employment law attorneys have over a decade of experience helping protect employee rights in California. We believe that companies must be held accountable for violating state or federal laws designed to protect employees from wrongdoing. At Levin & Nalbandyan, LLP, we handle the following kinds of employment law claims:
    • Class Actions
    • Harassment
    • Wage & Hour Disputes
    • Discrimination
    • Sexual Harassment
    • Wrongful Termination
    If you believe that you were mistreated or abused at work, you might be entitled to compensation. It is important to discuss your case with a Los Angeles employment law attorney as early as possible in order to achieve the best possible outcome in your case.
    A Los Angeles employment law attorney can help you get compensation if you were mistreated, harassed, or discriminated against at work. Without the help of an attorney, you may not get the recovery you deserve, despite the fact that your company violated state or federal law. Employment law is complicated and follows strict legal procedures. Failure to comply with these guidelines may result in your claim being denied or dismissed. An attorney can help ensure that you meet all statutory requirements and file the appropriate legal documents. It is important to note that you only have a limited amount of time to file, so the earlier you consult an attorney, the more likely your case will be heard.
    It is never too early to consult with an attorney, but it can be too late. The earlier in the process you retain legal representation, the better. Filing a claim beyond the statute of limitations may result in your case being dismissed or may bar your right to recovery.
    When employees are discriminated against, harassed, or mistreated, they deserve an advocate. They deserve someone who will fight to protect their rights and hold wrongdoers accountable. At Levin & Nalbandyan, our Los Angeles employment law attorneys aggressively defend the rights of workers, never resting until justice is served. Companies big and small often take advantage of employees, failing to pay them sufficient wages or creating an unsafe, hostile work environment. We believe that workers deserve better. Our firm is dedicated to helping those that have suffered at the hands of their employers.
    We believe that employees deserve to be treated fairly; anything less is unacceptable and unlawful. When there has been a violation of state or federal law, our Los Angeles employment law attorneys do not give up. We have obtained multiple seven-figure settlements and verdicts on behalf of our clients, including a $10 million jury verdict for a victim of workplace sexual harassment. If your employer has engaged in any form of harassment, discrimination, or abuse, you should not wait. Get the legal help you need now.

    TAKING ACTION AGAINST FMLA & CFRA VIOLATIONS

    The first step, if you suspect that your employer has violated the law, is to consult with a Los Angeles leave of absence lawyer who is familiar with the FMLA and related laws that affect your case. We can sit down with you to ensure you understand your rights and your options so that you can make an informed decision. Our goal, at Levin & Nalbandyan, LLP, is to pursue a remedy that meets your needs, including having you reinstated or demanding legal damages. Our attorneys have handled a wide range of cases and are ready to help protect your rights. Call now to learn more.
