FMLA & Leaves of Absence

Life does not stop for your job. Nor should it. Sometimes, you may need time off for health issues, to care for a sick family member, for pregnancy, or to bond with a newborn.

Under the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and state laws, covered employees can take unpaid leave for serious health conditions. If an employer violates your leave rights, you might be owed back pay, front pay, and other damages.

If you need help requesting leave or have been fired or penalized for invoking your leave rights, Echebiri Law Firm can help you fight against retaliation, interference, or recover what you are owed.
