Advocating Against Employment Law Discrimination in California
Employers frequently overlook individuals with mental or physical disabilities, thinking they would be less productive members of the workforce. To overcome this challenge, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was implemented to protect individuals with mental and physical disability conditions from being discriminated against. Yet, individuals with disabilities or medical conditions are often falsely stereotyped as being less dependable. If you have been treated differently at work because you have cancer or another medical condition, obtain experienced legal help.
I am attorney Alan Adelman, an employee rights lawyer with 16 years of experience. I have exclusively dedicated my law practice to taking action against employee discrimination and other illegal acts committed by employers against employees. My experience level includes handling complicated claims involving medical conditions and disability discrimination. I will take swift action in protecting your legal rights, if you encountered employee discrimination at your job.

Experienced California Medical Leave Attorney Working for You
At the Law Offices of Alan Adelman, I have handled hundreds of discrimination cases, including allegations of cancer discrimination. This is a challenging area of the law. Discrimination against employees who have cancer, or other disability conditions, is often done in a subtle manner with little hard evidence. I offer substantial experience proving fault based on circumstantial evidence and the company's failure to provide appropriate accommodations.
Everyone is different and everyone reacts to cancer treatment differently. Some people respond well to radiation or chemotherapy and can work the same day as their treatment. Someone else with the same form of cancer may need days, weeks or months to recover from treatment. I am prepared to explore whether you may have suffered unlawful discrimination, such as whether your employer failed to provide you with the extended medical leave during or after your treatment to which you may have been entitled. Part of my focus also includes determining whether your employer failed to provide reasonable accommodations which would allow you to keep working, including:
- Telecommuting
- Modifying job duties
- Flexible work hours
- Transferring to a more accommodating position
If you have suffered unlawful discrimination due to false stereotypes at work based on your medical condition, I have the ability and experience to take swift action. Any attempts to avoid promoting you or giving you extra responsibilities may be unlawful. I am an aggressive advocate for employees' rights. If you encountered retaliation including wrongful termination for reporting any stereotypes or discrimination, you may have legal rights which have been violated. I am committed to pursuing equitable recoveries for employees whose rights have been violated.
