In Silver Spring, where public-sector positions and contracting roles require close attention to compliance, our knowledge helps address every violation.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Maryland Fair Employment Practices Act prohibit disability discrimination and require employers to provide reasonable accommodations across Silver Spring and the entire state.

You can file with the EEOC, Maryland Commission on Civil Rights, or both. Timely and accurate filing is essential to begin the investigation process and protect your rights.

What qualifies as a reasonable accommodation?

A reasonable accommodation is an adjustment or modification to the workplace or job duties that allows an employee with a disability to perform essential tasks, unless it creates undue hardship for the employer.
