Protecting You In Any Case
Our experience in many areas of law allows us to stand by you against any form of discrimination.
Disability Discrimination
Both educational and workplace environments must provide reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities, including:
- Flexible workloads and schedules
- Adjustments to training or policy
- Accessibility
In addition to these accommodations, these institutions should prevent harassment. Any threats, taunts or physical attacks against someone with a disability constitute discrimination.
Discrimination At School
Since many schools are government institutions, they usually adhere to high standards to protect civil rights. All schools, from the elementary to the university level, must provide every student with equal access and fair opportunities. This especially applies to special education services.
Discrimination At Work
You have a right to a safe work environment. However, California has over 5,000 cases of workplace discrimination each year. Most of these involve:
- Sexual harassment
- Wrongful termination
- Unfair pay
- Refusal to promote
Wherever you face discrimination, the devoted attorneys of Leigh Law Group will support you.
