Sexual Harassment

Ranging from derogatory jokes and unwanted sexual advances to lewd comments and uncomfortable stares, sexual harassment in the workplace is widespread in America. No matter what industry you work in, you deserve a workplace that respects your dignity.

How RAK Law Can Help

If you believe you are a victim of sexual harassment, here is how an attorney can help:

Stop the harassment. If you contact an attorney early enough in the process, they can sometimes convince your employer to take steps to end the sexual harassment. The offending manager may be disciplined or transferred, or, if you prefer, you may be transferred to a different manager or location. Regardless, getting an attorney involved early in the process can help you navigate it smoothly and ensure that your employer complies with the law.

Get you out. In many cases, by the time a victim of sexual harassment retains an attorney, the offending behavior has become so offensive that they just want to leave. In these cases, an attorney can work directly with your employer to negotiate an exit package that protects your interests and preserves your reputation.

You can sue. If your employer is not willing to negotiate an out-of-court resolution, you may have no choice but to bring a lawsuit. A good attorney will walk you through the process and make sure you understand the risks and potential benefits and, if you decide to sue, will fiercely advocate for your rights and always keep your best interests in mind.
