One question that I frequently get asked is “When should I seek legal advice?”
I started FMLA-Rules.com as a source for the common person to get free advice about their questions regarding the Family Medical Leave Act. My experience in Human Resources gave me the opportunity to provide that input to those in need. I am not an attorney and whenever I have a client ask that question I always tell them the same thing, “Whenever you feel you have been mistreated, go talk to your lawyer and see what they think.” Which is usually followed by, “can you recommend someone?”
The Family Medical Leave Act was enabled to restore rights to those individuals who needed to take time for their own serious medical conditions or those of a close family member, and that’s what it’s there for, so if you feel that you are being mistreated because of you are requesting FMLA or are out on FMLA consult with your legal council, if they feel you case has merit they will tell you.
As for the second part, due to the nation wide publicity that FMLA-Rules.com gets it would be difficult for me to recommend any one firm that would help, especially someone in your area, though recently I was checking out the legal match web site, they offer you help finding a lawyer in your area for free, and for me, free is the right price. When you are on your search for someone just be sure to find someone who specializes in employment law, they will have the best knowledge of the rules and regulations about FMLA and can best represent you for employment law.
