HARASSMENT CLAIMS
In civil cases for harassment that occur outside the workplace, a plaintiff must meet certain legal requirements to sue for harassment and emotional distress. Before you can file a harassment “at work” claim, an individual must first file an administrative charge with the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). This is a legal requirement. Once a charge is filed with the EEOC, the agency will notify the employer and may dismiss, investigate, or mandate a mediation to resolve the dispute. Once the processing of the claim is completed, the charging party is issued a “right to sue letter”.
I have compassion and respect for our clients who have suffered the ordeal of harassment. It takes courage to face the dragon and we fight for our clients. I’ve learned that no matter where the harassment takes place, at the workplace, locker rooms, juvenile institutions, harassment is a violation and needs legal action to promote change.  The men and woman that we have helped persevere and recover through a troubling time is rewarding.
