Claims of Sexual Harassment – How We Can Help?

Imagine a workplace scenario where you are constantly being exposed to unwanted physical contact, lewd remarks, sexually explicit photos, or discrimination based on your sex. That would make the work environment hostile for you, affecting you both physically and emotionally.

 On the other hand, you might be witnessing “Quid Pro Quo” sexual harassment at work but are too afraid to report it thinking that you could lose your job. This kind of victimization arises when someone in authority or power makes demands for sexual acts in lieu of favorable treatment or benefits at work.

 At Ricardo Lopez Law, our experienced sexual harassment attorney in Los Angeles can help you file a claim against both of these scenarios and get the justice that you deserve. You must first place your claim with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and if they do not file your claim, we can help you file a civil lawsuit against your employer if they fail to take stringent actions against the harasser.

 Our proficient sexual harassment attorneys can help you understand your rights and assist you with filing a claim. Get in touch with us at 213-634-7979 to schedule a free consultation.
