Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment hurts; the victim should get damages.
When we meet, we will discuss:
- What the harasser has done to you
- Whether the harasser is your supervisor
- Whether the harasser, or anyone, has taken a workplace action against you–demotion, undesirable transfer, etc.
- The harassment words or action–how long, how many, how disgusting
- Your reaction to the harassment
- The way a sexual harassment case works
- What our lawyer-client agreement will be
- The creation of a complaint
- The damages that may be available
- Witnesses, documents, other evidence
- Your burden of proof
