Frequently Asked Questions:

CIVIL LITIGATION- EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION

My boss has been making sexually suggestive comments and I can't afford to quit my job. What are my rights?

Sexual harassment in the workplace may occur when an employee is subjected to unwelcome sexual advances, which may come in many forms. The sexual advance can be the basis for employment decisions affecting the individual. The employer may also be liable for sexual harassment where the complained of sex-related conduct creates a hostile working environment. The issues are complex and we can assist you in determining whether you have been a victim of sexual harassment and if so, we can explain your legal options.

I was recently terminated for no reason. Do I have a claim of employment discrimination?

Employers may be liable for discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age or disability. Discrimination may occur in hiring, compensation, promotion, layoff, disability leave or other terms and conditions of employment. We will arrange a consultation with you to determine whether an employer may be in violation of the various statutes protecting your rights in the workplace.
