If you have or believe you have become the victim of sexual harassment or another form of discrimination in a California workplace, you do not have to simply ignore it, cut your losses, and move on. Harassment and discrimination by coworkers, managers, or employers is illegal in California and you have legal recourse to right these wrongs.

Sometimes, harassment and discrimination cases are simply a matter of being verbally and/or by gestures or inequitable policies, purposefully singled out and subjected to unfair treatment - but in relatively minor ways. This is still illegal and we can pursue such cases.

But at other times, the discrimination may be more serious. It may involve unequal pay for equal performance/experience levels, promotions or lack thereof being based (at least in part) on gender, race, or religion, OR it may even involve someone being fired for such illegitimate reasons. AND in still other instances, it things might have gone so far as to count as sexual assault and/or battery.

We know how difficult it can be to suffer this kind of abuse at the hands of those in the workplace you thought you could trust. We also understand the applicable California laws and the courtroom processes that must be followed to maximize your chances of a fair judgment or settlement in these types of cases.

A Common Question We Hear Often

Do I have a case?  Should I call a lawyer now?  Sometimes the answer is "not yet."  If you are being harassed by a co-worker but you have not notified your employer, you might not have a case yet.  Under California law, an employer is not automatically liable for harassment by one of its employees, unless the harasser is a supervisor.  If the person who's harassing you is a co-worker, not a supervisor, you should notify your employer--in writing. Don't just talk to your employer about the harassment.  You should also include some sort of written notice such as an email or text message.  And save a copy.  Unfortunately, some employers will deny they ever received a complaint about a harasser unless there's a "paper trail."  If you have notified your employer about the harassment--in writing--and it still continues, or worse, they retaliate against, then you probably have a case that can be filed now.  If the harasser is a supervisor (not necessarily your own supervisor), then you should just call an attorney right away because employers are strictly liable for a supervisor's conduct.
