Sexual harassment is more common than we’d like to think. Despite recent cultural shifts, sexual harassment is still rampant in our society. When you’ve been the victim of sexual harassment, coming forward with your story can be terrifying, but here at DeToffol and Gittleman, we provide a supportive, non-pressuring environment where you can seek justice on your own terms. Learn more about how the right sexual harassment attorney in New York can help victims take action.
While most instances of sexual harassment are related to sexual behavior, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission points out that the definition of “sexual harassment” extends to any harassment related to sex. For instance, being discriminated against for being a man or a woman is sexual harassment, even if the harassment isn’t overtly related to sexual behavior. The harasser doesn’t even need to be the opposite sex; men can harass men, and women can harass women. If you’ve been harassed for your sex, you may be eligible to file a sexual harassment case.
Exceeding our clients’ legal expectations every day.
Finding a sexual harassment attorney might be the last thing you think about after you’ve become the victim of sexual harassment. Being subjected to sexual harassment makes you feel unsafe in a place where you once took your safety for granted. Unwanted sexual advances leave psychological scars that can take years to heal. While the trauma of sexual harassment can make it hard to move forward, working with a qualified harassment attorney gives you the tools you need to get your life back on track. Not only can pursuing a sexual harassment case with the help of harassment lawyers result in monetary compensation, but taking legal action also gives you the chance to ensure that no one else goes through what you experienced. Sex offenders belong behind bars, not in the workplace, and if you allow expert lawyers for harassment cases to help you find your voice, you can work toward healing your trauma and grease the wheels of justice at the same time.
