About Sacramento’s Top Lawyers List 2018

Voting for Professional Research Services’ survey to determine the top attorneys in 2018 for Sacramento magazine was open to all licensed attorneys in Sacramento, California. Attorneys were asked whom they would recommend among 53 legal specialties, other than themselves, in the Sacramento area. Each attorney was allowed to recommend up to three colleagues in each given legal specialty. Once the online nominations were complete, each nominee was carefully evaluated on the basis of the survey results, the legitimacy of their license, and their current standing with The State Bar of California. Attorneys who received the highest number of votes in each specialty are reflected in the above list.

The professionals listed above were selected by their peers in a survey conducted by Professional Research Services Company of Royal Oak, Michigan. Professionals may be screened and selected through the verification of licensing and review of any infractions through various applicable boards, agencies, and rating services.

Weintraub Tobin Shareholder Lukas Clary to speak at SAHRA May 2018 Legal Series on Demystifying the Accommodation Process for Disabled Employees

Most employers know that employees may need to be accommodated from time to time for various reasons. Often this is because of an employee’s disability or medical condition. It is important for employers to understand and comply with how the courts and various federal and state regulatory agencies define accommodations, as well as learn what their rights and obligations are regarding: (1) engaging in the interactive process; and (2) providing reasonable accommodations. This seminar will provide an overview of the many accommodations employers and HR professionals may be forced to consider, who should be accommodated, and how to engage in an interactive process to determine an appropriate accommodation.

Topics will include:

• How to Determine Who is Entitled to an Accommodation

• How to Engage in the Interactive Process and How to Know When to Initiate the Initial discussion

• The Various Protected Classes and/or Activities Entitling an Employee to Accommodations (including things like disability, religion, and illiteracy, to name a few)

• Service Animals in the Workplace

• How to Effectively Document the Accommodation

• Recent Developments in Accommodation Law
