Sexual Harassment

San Francisco Sexual Harassment Attorney

Victims of sexual harassment may feel conflicting emotions - loss of self esteem, disgust or anger at the behavior on the one hand, and anxiety at losing their jobs on the other. Many victims of sexual harassment in the workplace fear that reporting the matter will result in wrongful termination or their being set up for a poor work performance evaluation. The attorneys at the Armstrong Law Firm want victims of sexual harassment to understand - you do have rights. There is a legal recourse. You have a right to be made whole again.

Our sexual harassment practice aggressively pursues employers who have victimized employees, placing them in uncomfortable and unhealthy work environments and subjecting them to such hostile treatment. We hold employers accountable, we work to recover compensation on your behalf and send a message to the employer that sexually harassing its employees and allowing sexual harassment in the workplace is NOT OK. Contact our employment law firm to speak with an experienced and caring sexual harassment lawyer.

What Constitutes Sexual Harassment?

• Quid pro quo: If continued employment, promotions or fair treatment on the job is predicated on a sexual or personal relationship with a manager or person in a position of power, that demand clearly represents sexual harassment.
• Hostile work environment: Repeated behavior such as notes, photos, pornographic images on computers, jokes, unwanted attention, come-ons, repeated pressure for dates, comments regarding sexual preferences, other sexual comments and more overt acts such as touching and fondling violate hostile work environment laws. This too, is sexual harassment.

You Do Not Have to Suffer Indignity and Lack of Respect

Sexual harassment can seriously affect your psychological and physical well being. It can deny talented professionals the opportunity to advance and it can destroy careers. You do not have to suffer the indignity of sexual harassment. At the Armstrong Law Firm, we provide assertive representation for victims of sexual harassment. We stand up for the rights of workers who have been harassed or retaliated against for reporting harassment.

California employers are required to undergo mandatory sexual harassment training each year. They understand what constitutes harassment. If you have been sexually harassed by a manager or another person in a position of power, the company in which you work for (or formerly worked for) may be subject to liability for damages.

We can explain your rights, possible courses of action and how we may be able to obtain compensation and justice for you. We are experienced in negotiating favorable severance packages so that you may close the door and move on to a new employer.
