Sexual Harassment

Pennsylvania Sexual Harassment Attorneys

Sexual harassment occurs when rejection of improper conduct explicitly or implicitly affects an individual's employment, or interferes with an individuals work performance, or creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment. The law protects the person being harassed, whether the individual is male or female, or even if both the harasser and victim are of the same sex.

Employers can not attach terms of employment, such as promotions or raises, in exchange for sexual favors. Employers may not create or allow supervisors and coworkers to create or maintain a working environment that, because of pervasive or severe sexual harassing conduct, becomes so intimidating, hostile or offensive that it interferes with your work.

If you feel you have been sexually harassed as related to your employment, contact our office to discuss your concerns. With an understanding of your allegation and the supporting facts, our attorneys will advise you whether the conduct requires further inquiry.

We have successfully prosecuted several sexual harassment claims. The results we achieved in each of those cases not only involved trial courts but also appellate practice, which required us to devote thousands of hours in researching, drafting, litigating, and processing sexual harassment claims that were significant and, in certain instances, cases of first impression.

The litigation, appellate and trial preparation involved in these cases are very complex. We have a significant understanding of what sexual harassment represents and the effect it can have on a victim. As a result of our in-depth and unique involvement in the field of sexual harassment, we consider ourselves well-trained, experienced and competent in this major area of the law.
