During a free initial consultation, we will discuss the specifics of your case to understand if you have a sexual harassment claim, which often falls under three categories, including:
- Unwanted sexual advances: These claims usually consist of offering employment benefits in exchange for sexual favors, often referred to as quid pro quo.
- Hostile work environment: These claims can involve visual conduct such as displaying sexual pictures, verbal conduct such as making sexual comments or physical conduct such as touching someone.
- Retaliation: These claims occur when an employer threatens or retaliates against someone for complaining of unwanted sexual advances or a hostile work environment.
Sexual harassment in the workplace is against the law in California. Our attorneys handle many sexual harassment cases on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay no legal fees unless we are successful in recovering compensation for you.
