Many people think of sexual harassment as something that only affects women in the workplace, but men can experience sexual harassment too, regardless of appearance or sexual orientation. If you believe that you have been sexually harassed by a co-worker or supervisor, you should speak with a lawyer to discuss your legal options.

Many situations warrant speaking with an experienced sexual harassment lawyer first:
- Do you know if you were sexually harassed or are you unsure?

How Do You File A Sexual Harassment Claim?

If you have a case, we can help you accurately file a complaint with the EEOC and the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH). Upon obtaining a right to sue letter, we will help you file a strong lawsuit in pursuit of damages such as emotional distress, financial loss and psychological damages.
