Overview

In 2021, Jennifer won summary judgment for a client in an ADA and FMLA case in the Northern District Court of Illinois where an employee, with chronic absenteeism, claimed that that his employer, a safety equipment manufacturer, violated the ADA and FMLA by discriminating and retaliating against him on account of his alleged disabilities and medical leaves.
