Reasonable accommodation attorney

Get the Legal Support You Need: Experienced Reasonable Accommodation Attorney by Your Side in California!

When your employer refuses to accommodate your disability, your career and livelihood are at stake. Our employment attorney helps you enforce your legal rights under California and federal law. Mercer Legal Group represents employees throughout Los Angeles and surrounding areas who have been denied workplace accommodations.

Types of Reasonable Accommodation Violations

Failure to Provide Reasonable Accommodation Ignoring or outright denying your accommodation request without legitimate justification.

Refusing the Interactive Process Declining to engage in good-faith discussions about potential modifications.

Retaliation Demoting, terminating, or harassing you after you request an accommodation.

Constructive Discharge Making your work conditions intolerable to force you to quit after an accommodation request.

Disability Discrimination Treating you unfavorably because of your disability rather than evaluating your abilities.

California Reasonable Accommodation Law

California’s FEHA provides broader protections than federal ADA requirements. California employers with five or more employees must provide reasonable accommodations. FEHA covers more disabilities and imposes stricter employer obligations than federal law.

Case Costs and Value

Employment cases vary significantly based on lost wages, emotional distress, and employer conduct. California law allows recovery of attorney fees in successful accommodation cases, which affects how these claims are structured and pursued.

Why Legal Representation Matters

Accommodation cases require knowledge of ADA requirements, FEHA protections, and employer obligations under California law. Employers often have legal teams protecting their interests. Experienced legal representation levels the playing field.

Documentation, medical evidence, and proof of the interactive process breakdown are critical. Without proper legal guidance, valid claims can fail due to procedural errors or missed deadlines.

Why Choose Mercer Legal Group

Our lawyers focus exclusively on representing employees—never employers. We understand FEHA and ADA requirements specific to California workplaces.

We handle cases involving failure to accommodate, workplace discrimination, and employer retaliation throughout Los Angeles, Woodland Hills, and California.

Our approach includes thorough case investigation, gathering medical documentation, and building evidence that demonstrates your employer’s legal violations.

FAQ

What's acceptable accommodation?

When can I request reasonable accommodations?

Request a reasonable accommodation if your impairment requires job assistance. Request an accommodation as soon as you need one, preferably before performance concerns arise.

What if my employer denies reasonable accommodations?

Call an attorney if your employer refuses reasonable accommodations. Your attorney can explain your rights, review your options, and help you file an EEOC or state agency complaint.

When I first contacted Simon, I was in a terrible personal state because of what I had endured.

Simon was attentive, responsive, professional, calm, and a real advocate. He helped me find the strength to use my words to express myself when I felt I had no voice.

He was realistic with me. Explained the process and ALWAYS had my best interest in mind.

I especially appreciated the way he conducted himself with the other attorneys who kept trying to make me feel bad about myself. Simon is going to speak up for you, represent you, and won’t let you be bullied. Simon will not back down!

I am so thankful Simon went to law school and was there for me when I needed him.

If you’re ever in need of a brilliant attorney to represent you I highly recommend Simon.

There aren’t enough words for me to express my gratitude to Simon and his team for helping me through the most difficult moment of my life.

When I initially shopped my case around, I got very discouraging responses from most of the firms that I reached out to. After I had already lost hope, Mercer Legal Group reached out to me and asked for me to send along everything I could pertaining to my situation. Simon then assured me that I *did* have a case, and for the next year, fought tirelessly to right the wrong that had been done to me.

I had absolutely no experience in legal matters whatsoever, and Simon stayed honest and direct with me while he patiently explained strategies, his logic behind decisions, and always kept my expectations grounded. Throughout the past year, he has also gone out of his way to remind me that what happened to me was genuinely wrong. It was a kind and needed reminder as we dealt with the other issues around my case. He worked hard to foster a trust between us, and I can say unequivocally that my trust was well-placed. He delivered above and beyond what I was hoping for.

I plan on recommending Mercer Legal Group to anyone seeking help with employment law. Above and beyond in dedication, professionalism, and empathy. I will forever be grateful to Simon and his team.

They go above and beyond in every aspect, answer all my questions whenever I had doubts, and guide me step by step on what was going on and what our next steps were.

Simon is an excellent lawyer. Called the law firm not knowing anything on how to get started with a case and they explained everything. I explained my case to Simon and he told me he’d take care of everything and keep me updated. He kept me updated till the time came to settle the case and had an excellent outcome I’d recommend them to anyone who needs an ongoing case.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Mercer Legal Group, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the outset, their professionalism and dedication were evident, transforming what could have been a daunting legal process into a journey marked by clarity and confidence.

Special commendation must go to Simon, my attorney, whose expertise and strategic acumen were instrumental in securing a favorable settlement for my case. Simon not only provided me with hope but consistently surpassed my expectations. His profound understanding of the law, combined with his relentless pursuit of justice, led to a victorious outcome that I had initially thought unattainable. His ability to navigate complex legal waters with such finesse was truly inspiring.

Equally deserving of praise is Javier, the paralegal who supported me throughout this ordeal. Javier's commitment to keeping me well-informed was invaluable. He demonstrated exceptional patience, accommodating my often challenging work schedule to ensure I was never out of the loop. His thoroughness and attentiveness made all the difference, providing me with peace of mind during what could have been a tumultuous time.

Mercer Legal Group, through the exemplary work of Simon and Javier, has not only met but exceeded the highest standards of legal practice. Their combined efforts have not only resulted in a successful case resolution but have also left me with a renewed faith in the legal profession. I wholeheartedly recommend Mercer Legal Group to anyone in need of legal representation that is both intellectually rigorous and deeply empathetic.
