A former attorney with Cohen Seglias Pallas Greenhall & Furman has sued the firm and some of its partners after she was allegedly let go for taking time off under the Family and Medical Leave Act.
Melissa C. Angeline has sued the firm, managing partner Jason Copley and partners Marc Furman and Jonathan Landesman in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. She alleges they fired her at the conclusion of her leave under the FMLA, defamed her by telling other attorneys she was fired for poor performance and misappropriated her name and likeness by keeping her picture on the firm website after she was gone.
