The Typical Situation
In most situations, sexual harassment involves:
- Sexually offensive jokes, comments, or e-mails
- Unwelcome physical contact
- A supervisor or someone else in authority offering job benefits and opportunities in exchange for sexual behavior (sometimes referred to as "quid pro quo")
An Intelligent Approach to Sexual Harassment Claims
Our approach to sexual harassment cases is similar to our approach to employment discrimination, workplace retaliation and wage and hour violations cases:
- Consultation: The first and most important thing we do is listen. When we learn about your situation, we will consult with you regarding your options and help determine which course of action might be best for you.
- Settlement letter: We will write a letter to the other party, explaining the situation and making either a demand for a fair and appropriate settlement if you are the employee or a reasonable offer for settlement if you are the employer.
- Negotiation: At this stage, we can often find a way to settle the case favorably for you, avoiding the cost, time, and stress of the courtroom. In most situations, a negotiated settlement will produce a happier resolution for everyone and avoid the ugliness of a court trial.
- Trial: If an agreement cannot be negotiated, we will litigate and take the case all the way through trial. We have the experience and skill to strongly advocate for you in the courtroom and pursue the outcome you deserve.
