COVID-19 Discrimination

Donham Law is an Employee Rights Law Firm Serving West Virginia and Pennsylvania.

Recently, employees have begun to experience significant changes in their workplace due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. Our Pennsylvania COVID-19 Discrimination Lawyers are ready to help with information on changes related to COVID-19 in the workplace and paid family leave.

The Family Medical Leave Act is providing some relief and assistance for workers, including financial support for those who have Coronavirus medical and mental health concerns including individuals with the virus, anxiety and depression exacerbated by the virus concerns, caregivers, parents watching children at home during the Pandemic and other important information.

Donham Law, the West Virginia Disability and COVID-19 Discrimination Lawyers have the ability to work with employers and small businesses to alleviate the concerns of those who are both still employed or employing those with COVID-19 concerns as well as assisting workers whom have been fired due to discriminatory practices related to COVID-19 issues.

Our firm uses the latest technology to take an efficient yet aggressive approach to all of our cases in order to reduce the costs often associated with litigation while maximizing compensation for our clients. When you contact our firm, we provide assistance through an intake process that is cloud-based and remote accessed. This means we do not need bricks and mortar or a physical location to serve your needs as most firms do.

In fact, for the last 12 years Donham Law has been a virtual firm which prides itself on keeping costs down for the consumer and working toward a resolution for our clients that makes common sense. We do not have to get up to speed to serve your needs since we have a long track record of providing online access and access by phone and other video conferencing platforms.

Our Pennsylvania COVID 19 Discrimination Attorneys stand ready to take your case to administrative tribunals or state and federal courts to protect your rights.
