I’m going on maternity leave but some things happening at my work are making me believe I might be let go when I come back. Anyone knows a good lawyer that could help me?

A lawyer can only help you if you are being discriminated against and can prove it. Like in writing or recorded.
If they are just being sneaky or unfair, you are wasting mental effort on this. You may know in your heart of hearts that they are (for instance) planning to replace you while on leave and then lay you off or demote you- but you’d have to prove they did that just because you were pregnant and not for any other reason at all.

Here to say I was laid off at 31 weeks pregnant. But so were a bunch of other people. So didn’t feel like I had any recourse at all

What things are happening that makes you think that way?

Are confidential things, that’s why I want a lawyer

Depends on your state as laws vary greatly. Google your local legal aid website as they have lots of info to point you to a proper attorney in your area
