Bryant Whitten, LLP

Overview

Pregnancy discrimination takes many forms. Were you harassed or disciplined because of doctor's appointments or morning sickness absences? Were your forced to take sick leave, pregnancy leave or maternity leave? Were you denied leave under threat of losing your job? Did your employer terminate you when you returned?

Bryant Whitten, LLP in Fresno represents women in the Central Valley, the San Francisco Bay Area and throughout Northern California who suffered harassment, discrimination, wrongful termination or other adverse employment action after becoming pregnant. Our skilled employment law attorneys have brought successful pregnancy discrimination cases against major employers.

Women who become pregnant have specific rights under the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and the California Family Rights Act (CFRA), as well as the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Fair Employment and Housing Act. Pregnancy discrimination is also outlawed as gender discrimination or sexual harassment under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Our lawyers are knowledgeable about your rights and your legal remedies. We pursue maximum compensation for the economic and emotional harm you have suffered if your employer tried to fire or punish you for getting pregnant, missing work, taking leave or asking for accommodations.

Trial attorneys Shelley Bryant and Amanda Newell have the experience and resources to take on even the biggest corporations in pursuit of justice. If you were subjected to pregnancy discrimination, call us today at 559-389-5856 for a free, confidential consultation.
