“Working with Daphne was extremely rewarding. Every step of the way I was supported and empowered to stand in my power as an African-American woman. She advocated for my rights and worked tirelessly to ensure a deserved outcome. She also provided referrals in other areas in my life. She’s an extremely trusted lawyer. Don’t lose hope. Contact her immediately.”

“If you are considering working with Daphne, or really if you’re just experiencing certain treatment in the workplace, and you in your gut are thinking, “This does not seem right. This is not okay…” Run it by her. She can support you in a lot of different ways.[…] I highly recommend that you reach out to her, and I am really excited to see what she does for the world, and what she does for women and parents with her new firm.”
I had a wonderful HR generalist during my pregnancies but this is still so important because I’m pretty sure HR can’t say “hey, by the way, did you know you can ask your doctor for more disability time if you aren’t ready to come back?” Ultimately, I feel like they need to walk the fine line of keeping the company’s interests in mind (ie not volunteering information) even if they personally want to help the women. My first pregnancy I was out for 4 months just going off of what my HR rep told me. My second pregnancy after finding mama attorney I was out for 10…
Daphne is amazing. She really takes the time to listen to you and understand your situation. She did a phenomenal job and fought until the end. I would absolutely recommend Daphne a million times over for anyone needing a lawyer. She won’t just win your case, she will fight for you and what you deserve. I can’t say enough about her and her entire team. She communicated with me the entire time, making sure I knew what was going on behind the scenes at all times. She really takes her work seriously. When life throws curveballs at you and you find yourself in need of an amazing lawyer, trust in Daphne.
Daphne was great! I contacted her regarding a matter and she responded quickly. Her response was clear and she ensured I fully understood what she was telling me. I highly recommend her for any legal advice needed!
I consulted with Daphne and the thing I liked about her is she made time to consult with me and gave me great advise and also went an extra mile. I would definitely recommend her.
Daphne, I am so thankful for your help! When I was “laid off” from my full time job, I knew it was not due to Covid-19 as indicated in my final notice. It was due to my color of skin and my pregnancy. My employer had already laid off two people of color in the previous year. I never expected that I would be next. But it happened, and I was 6 months pregnant when it did. My direct supervisor then lied about the entire incident and thought he could get rid of me with a mediocre severance package. I contacted Daphne Delvaux and she was able to take my case and resolve it in such a manner that it was admirable. Daphne and her team helped me win my case. I really wanted to be represented by a Woman and I’m sure there was no better person than Daphne. Thank you for helping me and standing up for what happened to me, I was wrongly terminated and you didn’t let them get away with it. I will always be thankful for that and for helping so many people to be aware of our rights.
Daphne was quick and efficient in handling my case. She was very caring and empathetic about my situation and was able to get the best results for me under the circumstances I found myself in.
I contacted Daphne through her website and completed an intake form, heard back the same week with follow up questions. I was asked to email over any documentation, I sent emails and screenshots from my employer. Daphne & her team quickly got back to me with guidance that truly saved me! I was discriminated against and had no idea of my rights. I was not even sure that I could contact a lawyer because it was “company policy”. My best advice is to reach out with your questions / concerns and let the lawyer guide you! I would hire her 100% she was actually the 2nd lawyer that I consulted with the first one sent me an email explaining he was not interested in taking on the case / me becoming a client, it was titled “non engagement” BEFORE I GAVE UP I reached out to Daphne & I am so thankful, just her consultation alone saved me money for the time being.
Ms. Delvaux is incredible at what she does. She is clearly very knowledgeable and passionate about supporting her clients and their rights. While my issue was resolved without legal action, she saw me through the entire (several month long) process. She provided continued consultation until it was resolved and was ready to pursue action if needed. I would recommend her to anyone in need of a lawyer. She is intelligent, professional, passionate and bold.
Thank you for being an advocate for parents. Thank you so much for the very informative and empowering "Know your rights" webinar. Often working women are afraid to ask for a leave or an accommodation in fear of being seen as unproductive or inflexible. We bear the burden of having to remain productive, even if that means working through the night. You educating us on our rights and helping us educate our employers is truly eye-opening. I am sharing this webinar with many parents.
I work full time in senior management in community development finance; my husband does full-time land use law; we have a two-year-old son. Like many others, we are resilient but exhausted. We recently decided that my husband should explore utilizing temporary partial-paid leave relief. I’ve been following @themamattorney and sent the resource library link to my husband, who used the information to prepare for a conversation with HR, prior to a meeting with his boss to make the request. It turned out that he was the first employee at the organization to request it, and they shared appreciation of his knowledge of the topic. As a result of The Mamattorney’s resources and our due diligence, my husband’s request was approved and effective immediately. As a result of my husband being able to take on more child care right now, I can focus on my work during a critical time, providing subsidized financing for affordable housing and small business. Thank you for your work!
I want to thank you deeply for all that you do! I was empowered and today I received the yes!!! I will be off for 12 extra paid weeks after a pregnancy disability leave. Then I will take the 12 weeks bonding with baby 🙂 Success!
Thanks for all your info as you’ve so far saved our family! Thanks to your help, I’ve been currently home with FT pay from my employer for the past 30days under FFCRA. We have three girls- 2, 5, and 6- with older two homeschooling. I couldn’t do both working FT and homeschooling and diaper changes.
I am SO THANKFUL I came across your page. I’ve been struggling and discouraged trying to figure out the logistics for the rest of my pregnancy and maternity leave and your posts and articles have been so encouraging. The information you provide is easy to understand and laid out nicely that I finally feel empowered to start planning everything out. Thank you so much for sharing.
"Thank you so much for what you are doing! I don't feel alone at all. You give us the courage to stand up for ourselves as parents and not have to choose between work and our kids. So kindhearted and full of compassion. Forever grateful for helping me and my situation."

“I was fired for being pregnant. Contacting Daphne was the best decision I ever made. It was a stressful time for me. In the first conversation with Daphne, she put me at ease, she took her time to listen and let me express my emotions. I instantly felt relieved. She knows what she’s talking about. She was very transparent and always let me know the next steps. Up until now she still checks in with me. I would highly recommend her.”
Bethany
“Daphne helped me win a major case and became one of my biggest supporters throughout one of the toughest times in my life. She was there for me when I was panicking. She fought for me. I wanted to give up so many times. She gave me the confidence I needed to continue on. She did not settle until we got the results she knew I deserved. Those results were life-changing. It’s all thanks to her. She knows what she’s doing and she’s an amazing person. I appreciate her so much. If you have any doubts about her, erase them.”
