Your termination looks illegal due to a violation of the FMLA. And we're here to help you get compensated.

It's sad to hear that you went through a termination. However, we are here to help you restore justice. Firstly, it seems your employer terminated you in violation of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). According to this Act, employees who have been employed for at least one year, at least 1,250 hours, and whose employer has over 50 employees can take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave. If your employer breached this law, you can request reinstatement to your former position and receive back pay, the number of wages and benefits you lost during the period you were fired.  How to get compensated for your employer's violation of the FMLA:  You can file a complaint with the Wage and Hour Division of the U.S. Department of Labor within a reasonable time after you were fired for taking a medical leave. You should prepare documents to use as evidence supporting your complaint.  As an alternative, you can file a private lawsuit against your employer. It's crucial to weigh the costs of taking legal action against the possible benefit of doing so. We advise you to contact a lawyer to help you prepare your case. Secondly, it seems that you faced prejudice at work based on your characteristics. And this is discrimination. Protected characteristics include race, color, sex, religion, gender, age (40 and older), sexual orientation, disability, national origin, and pregnancy. If this is correct, you are entitled to compensation.  According to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, U.S. employers pay more than $595.9 million a year in compensation for employment discrimination complaints, and the average compensation is around $40,000. However, only less than 18% of submitted complaints are approved. Therefore, finding a lawyer to help you draft the documents is essential.
