Building Your Family Shouldn't Cost You Your Career.
Becoming a parent is a major life milestone, not a fireable offense. If your employer has sidelined you, denied your leave, or terminated you because you’re pregnant or planning to start a family, we are here to fight for your rights under California’s strict protections.
Employers often hide pregnancy bias behind "reorganization" or "performance issues" immediately after an employee announces their pregnancy. In California, these tactics are illegal. You have the right to reasonable accommodations, protected leave, and to return to your job without retaliation. If your employer is making your workplace unbearable or showing you the door because you’re expecting, you need a firm that knows exactly how to stop them.
Being fired, laid off, or having your contract non-renewed shortly after disclosing your pregnancy or requesting leave.
Refusing common accommodations like modified lifting duties, more frequent bathroom breaks, or temporary transfer to lighter work.
Returning from protected leave only to find your position has been "eliminated" or that you’ve been demoted.
Dealing with managers or coworkers who make derogatory comments about your pregnancy or your "commitment" to the job.
Being discouraged, threatened, or explicitly denied your legal right to take Pregnancy Disability Leave (PDL) or CFRA leave.
Being stripped of responsibilities, given a worse shift, or subjected to "performance reviews" as punishment for being pregnant.
Companies often assume that a pregnant employee will be less productive or a "distraction." We reject that bias entirely. California law recognizes that pregnancy is a protected status, and any action that punishes you for it is a violation of your civil rights. We look past the company's "business reasons" and prove the real motive: illegal discrimination.
“Pregnancy shouldn’t be a career-ender. We hold employers to the highest standards, ensuring that when you choose to start a family, your career remains secure.” — Avi Gholian, Founding Attorney
