Joseph Leeson, III Quoted in Law360 “[This is a] clear acknowledgment that our client’s voice matters and that the rights of individuals with disabilities in the workplace must be respected and upheld” 🧑⚖️📝
In a decision drawing renewed attention to the treatment of workers with disabilities, a federal judge in Pennsylvania has refused to dismiss a lawsuit brought by a former dispensary supervisor who claims he was punished after reporting a colleague’s use of the slur “cripple” to describe him. Leeson’s statement reflects the ethos of his firm, Leeson & Leeson, based in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, which has earned a reputation for aggressively defending the rights of individuals. With this ruling, the firm continues its track record of pushing cases forward that highlight systemic inequities and the human cost of workplace bias. If you or someone you know has experienced discrimination or retaliation in the workplace or has been injured by the acts of another, Leeson & Leeson encourages you to speak up. Justice starts with being heard.
