Protecting the Rights and Interests of People with Disabilities

According to the U. S. Census Bureau, about 49.7 million Americans have a disability. With proper accommodations, many people with disabilities can perform the essential functions of many jobs as well or better than their non-disabled peers with equal experience.

The fact is, many employers may refuse to provide people with disabilities the opportunity to demonstrate these abilities. Disabled people routinely face discrimination in hiring and in obtaining promotions. Additionally, employers often fail to provide reasonable accommodations to allow people with disabilities to fully perform their jobs. Not only is this unfair - it's illegal.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and California's equivalent, the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), prevent employment discrimination based on a disability or a perceived disability. Under these laws, employers are required to provide the disabled with access to facilities and make reasonable accommodations for employees with disabilities.

Our attorneys have a special interest in fighting for the rights of people with disabilities. We have the resources to handle complex disability discrimination cases for individuals and employee groups facing large, well-financed private and municipal employers.
