Experienced Representation in Employment Law Matters
Many people spend a significant amount of time at their jobs. A workplace should be a safe, productive place free from discriminatory behavior. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. At The Law Offices of James F. DeMartini, our Sonoma County/Mendocino County sexual harassment lawyers stand up for the rights of individuals who have experienced harassment and discrimination in the workplace. We can also protect employers from lawsuits based on false allegations of harassment.
Types of Sexual Harassment
There are two main types of sexual harassment in the workplace — quid pro quo harassment and hostile work environment harassment. Quid pro quo occurs when a person who typically occupies a position of authority offers a benefit to another worker in exchange for sexual favors. It also occurs when a person is threatened with an adverse action if he or she does not provide sexual favors. A hostile work environment may involve unwanted physical contact, lewd jokes, displays of pornography and other behavior that makes a person feel uncomfortable.
Our California employment law attorneys will thoroughly review your case and let you know whether you have a valid claim. We will also tell you what steps should be taken in terms of informing your employer of the type of harassment you have been experiencing. In every case, we will ensure that you fully understand exactly what is transpiring in your case every step of the way.
Representing Employers and Employees
Although the lawyers at our Cloverdale workplace discrimination law firm primarily represent employees in employment law matters, we have extensive experience representing employers as well. Because we have experience representing clients on either side, we understand each party's concern. This gives us a great advantage in settling disputes without going to court. We always work to find the most effective solutions, preferably through mediation or litigation, with the least financial exposure to our clients.
