My ex-employer, based in Silicon Valley let me go due to performance related reasons, after I requested parental leave following the birth of my child. Deane and her team worked with me and took over the conversation with my ex-employer’s HR department. They requested my employment files and made me feel taken care of. Over a handful of sessions, we documented my time working, projects I was in charge of, and people I managed. In the end, we figured out there wasn’t any real performance related reasons I was let go, but instead it was discrimination against my rights as a parent to take leave under FMLA. Deane and her team were able to recover a large, multi-month compensation package I would have not received based on the severance I was originally offered. My family is forever grateful for all her help in serving justice through employment law. I would highly recommend Deane and her team anytime you’re dealing with losing a job wrongfully or even negotiating terms of a new job.
