Unfortunately, sexual harassment happens in the workplace every day. It usually occurs in the form of unwanted verbal or physical conduct based on gender. It is important to note that sexual harassment victims can be of any gender, and those who perform sexually harassing behaviors can be of any gender.
Sexual harassment does not have to be explicitly sexual, however. Sexual harassment in the workplace can be offensive harassment based on a person’s gender.
In the workplace, terms of sexual harassment include, but are not limited to:
There are many other ways that sexual harassment can present in the workplace, so it is important to contact a sexual harassment lawyer if you believed that you are experiencing sexual harassment. An attorney will be able to help you determine your next steps and gather evidence and documentation to support your claims. Additionally, they can be by your side if you decide to move forward with a sexual harassment lawsuit.
Documenting sexual harassment in the workplace is a very important step to take if you believe you are being harassed at work, either by managers, supervisors, or by fellow coworkers. Writing down the time, location, date, and what occurred will aid you and your sexual harassment lawyer in building a case. Furthermore, it is critical that you report sexual harassment to the appropriate human resources personnel so that the company can take action against the harasser, as sexual harassment in the workplace should be treated with a zero-tolerance policy.
How Sexual Harassment Lawyers Can Help
Remember that your rights as an employee are protected under a myriad of federal and state laws and regulations that prohibit employers from taking action against you if you bring forward a sexual harassment claim. All too often are employees let go or terminated from their positions because they may “rock the boat” by bringing forward these claims. It is illegal for an employer to retaliate against employees for making sexual harassment claims, and it is important that you have a knowledgeable and experience lawyer to help protect your rights in the workplace when you experience this pervasive and unwelcoming conduct and behavior.
Having a lawyer is imperative to helping your build your case against the harasser and the company should they choose to take no action to respond to your claims. Not only will a lawyer help you determine if you are experiencing sexual harassment in the workplace, but they will also guide you through the subsequent legal processes necessary to resolve these issues.

Our Sexual Harassment Attorneys:
“Bob DeRose was a huge help in getting my complaint settled. They were responsive and a huge help with all my questions. Would recommend them to anyone who needs help!”
My experience with this Law firm was phenomenal. I found my way into their offices after an unexpected workplace injury. Initially I was clueless about their performance.
The fact that I was not merely looking out for a supplement for my financial budget, I was simply there to explore whatever compensation was due me since the injury legitimately occcured “during and in the course of my employment”.
After an initial visit to the offices where the necessary documentation were initiated, the rest were simply a phone call for updates. Sometimes it was even needless.
They frankly discussed the pathway as well as the unpredictability of the timing for the process.This was necessary. I took that in good faith. The fact that there was no upfront payment was also a good thing.
Without monitoring my calendar, I waited patiently for the various
phases of the process to unfold.
Finally the claim was settled with so much transparency. The unpredictable journey ended with a check delivered to my mailbox.
In fact communications from this Law office is always expedient. The Front Desk Associate was very helpful and polite at all times. My attorney’s paralegal was always available to play her part whenever necessary.“
“They are top-notch attorneys who are experts in their fields. They do great work and are easy to work with. They care about their clients and always try to do the best job possible for them.”
“I had an amazing experience working with Sandy and Robin on my case. Robin was just a short email or call away from all of my questions. The communication I had with Sandy was just as great. Both Sandy and Robin made sure I knew exactly what was going on with my case at all times. I will be recommending them to others. If I ever need help legal matters in the future, I know I can get the help from Sandy Meizlish.”
