Columbus Disability Discrimination Lawyers Who Stand With You

If you’re being harassed, denied accommodations, or wrongfully termination because of a disability, it’s not just wrong—it’s against the law. At Spitz, The Employee's Law Firm, our team of disability discrimination attorneys is here in Columbus to help you take back control. We work with employees who’ve been mistreated at work just because they were honest about their health.

From Worthington to Dublin, Westerville to Grove City, our clients come from across Franklin County and beyond. Our office is right off Schrock Road in the Busch Corporate Center, easily accessible from anywhere in the Columbus metro area. We offer free consultations and work on a contingency basis—you don’t pay unless we win.

Whether your job was in state government, healthcare, tech, education, or retail, we understand the pressure you’re under. And we’ll stand up to your employer so you don’t have to go through this alone. We’re proud to be part of the Columbus community—just a few minutes from the Ohio State campus and close to the heart of Clintonville.

What Does Disability Discrimination Look Like in the Workplace?

Disability discrimination isn’t always as obvious as a slur or a firing. Sometimes it’s a pattern of being left out. Other times, it’s being punished for needing something your doctor says is necessary. And far too often, it’s being harassed, mocked, or ignored—while HR and management look the other way.

We’ve worked with employees who experienced:

A Columbus call center worker with chronic migraines was mocked by supervisors after needing dark screen filters. They’d flip on the overhead lights during her shift and call her “the vampire.” HR laughed it off.
A warehouse employee in Newark had surgery on both knees and requested limited lifting. Instead, his manager reassigned him to a job hauling pallets. When he said, “Because I’m disabled, I can’t do this,” he was sent home.
In Westerville, a preschool aide with hearing loss was denied a simple accommodation—a text-based communication app for staff meetings. When she asked again, the director rolled her eyes and told her to “just listen harder.”
A hospital tech in Reynoldsburg with Type 1 diabetes asked for regular breaks to manage her insulin levels. Coworkers began calling her “sugar junkie.” Management ignored three formal complaints.
A cashier in Grove City who needed a stool to sit down due to arthritis was told that “looking weak” would hurt sales. Her hours were cut after she pushed the issue. HR said there was nothing they could do.

No matter how subtle or severe, if your employer is targeting you because of a disability or condition—and HR does nothing—that’s disability discrimination. You have rights. You’re not alone. And we’ll help you fight back.

How to Respond to Disability Discrimination in Newark, OH

If something feels off at work—if your gut is telling you that this treatment isn’t fair—it probably isn’t. Whether you were passed up for a promotion, constantly harassed, or wrongfully fired, here’s what we suggest:

Document everything. Save emails. Screenshot texts. Write down what happened, when it happened, and who saw it. If you’ve been called names or mocked, keep a record. And if a coworker witnessed it, confirm with them via text or email.

If you feel unsafe—physically or emotionally—please remove yourself from the situation. Your safety matters. Then, reach out to us. We’ll help you understand whether your case qualifies under Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) and Ohio law. We’ll help you file an EEOC disability complaint if needed.

Discrimination based on disability is illegal. Being harassed or wrongfully fired because you asked for help is not okay. Because I’m disabled is not an excuse for a manager to punish you. And you have options.

Why Gahanna Employees Turn to Spitz for Disability Discrimination Cases

You want someone who gets it. Someone who’s walked clients through this before—and won. At Spitz, The Employee's Law Firm, we don’t just dabble in employment law. It’s all we do.

We’ve represented employees across Central Ohio who were harassed, passed over, wrongfully terminated, or denied accommodations just because they said, “Because I’m disabled, I need something different.” We’ve heard it too many times from clients: “Because I’m disabled, they stopped inviting me to meetings.” “Because I’m disabled, I lost hours.” It’s not legal.

We’ve fought big-name employers in healthcare, education, logistics, and corporate offices across Columbus. And we don’t flinch when things get tough. We care about our clients. We explain the process in plain language. We stay in touch. And we fight like hell to get results.
