 Sexual harassment in the workplace affects everyone. Whether you are a victim
of sexually inappropriate comments or conduct directed at you, or working in an
environment where other employees engage in sexually inappropriate comments and
behaviors that you find offensive, you have the right to be free from such
harassment and to be compensated for any damage such unlawful conduct has caused
you. At the Law Offices of Bob Nehoray, we protect the rights of victims of
sexual harassment in the workplace. No one should be subject to sexual
harassment or a hostile work environment.
California law defines sexual harassment as harassment based on sex or of a
sexual nature; gender harassment; and harassment based on pregnancy, childbirth
or related medical conditions. Sexual harassment includes many forms of
offensive behavior, including harassment of a person who is the same gender as
the harasser.
Under California law, the following are some examples of sexual harassment:
- Unwanted sexual advances
- Offering employment benefits in exchange for sexual favors
- Actual or threatened retaliation for refusing, objecting to or complaining
about sexual harassment of one's self or others
- Leering; making sexual gestures; or displaying sexually suggestive
objects, pictures, cartoons or posters
- Making or using derogatory comments, epithets, slurs or jokes
- Sexual comments including graphic comments about an individual's body;
sexually degrading words to describe an individual; or suggestive or obscene
letters, notes or invitations
- Physical touching or assault, as well as impeding or blocking movements
We understand that sexual harassment is a humiliating experience that can
cause the loss of respect, privacy, self-esteem, quality personal and family
time, upward mobility or future within a company, and income. If we accept your
case, our team of lawyers will prepare and steer you away from the litigation
minefields that your employer's attorneys will unfairly set. Our assertive
litigation style, mastery of the law, reputation and success often results in
pre-trial settlements which are financially and emotionally beneficial to you.
Should pre-trial settlement be an impractical alternative, we will be equally
vigilant in preparing for and trying your case with one goal only: Winning! Make
us a part of your litigation team.
