Pregnancy Discrimination

You may want to contact an attorney experianced in pregnancy discrimination. The department of Fair Employment and Housing will accept a complaint for pregnancy discrimination, however you will be better served with a private attorney.

The above is meant to assist in a general understading of the subject matter. IT IS NOT TO BE REGARDED AS LEGAL ADVICE AND NO ATTORNEY - CLIENT RELATIONSHIP HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED. Companies and individuals with particular questions should seek advice of counsel.
