Pregnancy Discrimination Lawyer in Philadelphia

Pennsylvania Maternity Leave Attorney

10+ Years of Employment Law Experience in the Philadelphia Area

Pregnancy brings promise and joy, along with new responsibilities. When you are pregnant, the last thing you need is to have your job dampened and your ability to care for your new child diminished by being fired by your employer because you are going to have a baby.

Fortunately, the days when employers could fire women because of pregnancy are over. Now, state and federal laws protect parents' rights to:

  • Take time off for child birth/maternity leave
  • Take time off during pregnancy when medical needs warrant it

At the Southampton, Pennsylvania, firm of the Law Offices of Bruce Preissman, we have helped numerous employees fight for and win their legal rights in the workplace, including rights relating to freedom from gender discrimination and pregnancy discrimination, and rights granted by the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA).

Your employer has no right to fire you simply because you are pregnant. For straightforward counsel and comprehensive legal help for pregnancy-related problems in the workplace, contact attorney Bruce Preissman at 215-375-7192 or 877-526-1347.

If you have been fired due to pregnancy, or have had any type of employment-related benefit denied due to pregnancy, contact us for a no-charge discussion of your claim. We can answer your questions, provide honest, straightforward and realistic counsel regarding your options and provide experienced, committed comprehensive legal representation in pursuit of a fair outcome. Possible results of negotiations and litigation include:

  • Being rehired
  • Receiving compensation and back pay
  • Receiving a promotion if you were denied one due to pregnancy
  • Receiving work responsibilities if they were denied or removed due to pregnancy
