Sexual Harassment
Many employees don't know their rights, aren't sure what counts as sexual harassment, or fear the consequences of reporting it. Our experienced and compassionate lawyers will listen to your story and help you decide what to do.
We have handled every type of sexual harassment case:
- Sexual harassment by supervisors — The company is liable if a person in authority threatens your employment status for saying no or reporting abuse.
- Sexual harassment by co-workers — We hold the employer accountable if they fail to protect you or if they retaliate against you for making a complaint.
- Sexual harassment of young employees — Young women just entering the work force are common targets because they are least likely to fight back.
- Same-Sex sexual harassment — It is illegal for a man to harass a man or a woman to harass a woman, regardless of either's sexual orientation.
- Hostile work environment — You can sue if sexual advances or sexually charged conduct affects your ability to do your job and feel safe.
Job Discrimination
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and other state and federal laws protect you from discrimination in hiring, workplace mistreatment or termination. We handle the full spectrum of discrimination claims:
- Disability discrimination (ADA) — Employers must make reasonable accommodations for an employee's disability and cannot deny employment on the basis of disability.
- Age discrimination — Workers over the age of 40 are protected from termination or adverse employment decisions when age is the main criteria.
- Racial/Ethnic discrimination — Your race or national origin cannot be the basis for an adverse employment decision or for unequal treatment.
- Gender discrimination — Women paid less for the same work, repeatedly passed over promotion or denied access to “male jobs” may have a claim.
- Retaliation and wrongful discharge — Employers cannot fire you, take adverse employment actions against you or condone a hostile work environment for reporting sexual harassment or filing a discrimination complaint.
