Parsippany Sexual Harassment Lawyer
If you are working in a hostile work environment, it is likely you are unable to think about anything else while you are at work. The hostile environment can affect your personal and family life as well. The stress of a hostile work environment is something no employee should have to experience. When accompanied by sexual harassment, discrimination and other adverse actions, it can cause a lot of harm and distraction to an employee.
What Is the Cause of the Hostile Work Environment?
Employees are protected from discrimination in the workplace by State and Federal law. If you have been discriminated against, experienced retaliation for reporting wrongdoing, been the victim of sexual harassment or faced any negative actions based upon your race, age, gender, sexual orientation, national origin or other protected characteristic, talk to me. I have significant experience handling employment law and civil rights claims - areas of the law that are commingled with discrimination claims, sexual harassment claims and other actions leading to a hostile work environment. As your attorney, I will proceed to trial on your behalf or resolve the problem through negotiation. Together, we will identify the best possible strategy for protecting your rights and interests.
