Law Office of Richard Vaznaugh
For the last 27 years ago I have focused my practice on representing workers from executives to rank and file in claims against their former and current employers.
I maintain a limited case load to make sure each case gets the attention it deserves.
I am highly experienced, so you can be sure you have the right lawyer to take on your civil employment dispute.
I try to make a real and positive difference for each client by honest advice and advocating vigorously and ethically for you.
Personal:
After living in several countries and several states as a child, at 18, I returned permanently to the Bay Area and attended the University of California, Berkeley and then, UC Hastings College of the Law. Thanks to my mother, who was a native Argentine, I speak fluent Spanish and I have travelled extensively in Latin America.
When not at work, I spend most of my free time with my wife and kids. I also enjoy bicycling, politics, restaurants, and travel (but only for vacation).

- Q. My doctor provided me documentation approving 3 days off per month for my medical condition. I went over that time
- A: More information is needed to respond completely.
However, assuming this is a California, Private sector, non-union employer with at least 5 employees and that you have a bona disability, then they need to accommodate your disability reasonably. If you have documentation for 3 days of intermittent leave, then they need to honor that unless it would be very burdensome to do so. Based on what you wrote, it would be a violation of law to "cancel" it.
If you need additional time, then they need to honor that as well unless it would be a very burdensome to do so.
The employer does not actually need additional medical documentation to accommodate you since they can believe your ... Read More
