Unwanted Sexual Advances

Answer:

I often get calls from both men and women who have been sexually harassed at work and they’re still working there. They come asking whether or not they have a claim or, in other words, whether they are protected under the law from being discriminated against sexually, either because they’re a man or because they’re a woman. The answer is, in most cases, yes. There is no reason why any employee should have to run a sexual gauntlet just to put food on the table, to keep the lights on in their house and provide for their family. That is immoral, it’s wrong, and oftentimes it’s illegal.

If you find yourself in this situation, it is important that you find an experienced trial attorney in the area of labor and employment law. We at the Chavez Law Firm have deep experience in this area of the law, and we are passionate about helping our clients stop the harassment and, when necessary, get just compensation for the harassment or any subsequent retaliation that they suffer as a result of blowing the whistle.

If you find yourself in this situation, please give us a call. We stand ready, willing, and able to answer your questions and hopefully help.
