Atlanta Lawyers Representing Workers in Sexual Harassment Claims

Many workers who are entitled to protection are often worried that they will be retaliated against if they file a complaint with the EEOC. Our Atlanta based employment lawyers aggressively defend the rights of sexual harassment victims and fight to either have the inappropriate behavior stopped or to have our clients properly compensated.

Georgia attorneys advocating on behalf of workers who have been sexually harassed on the job

Private, state, and U.S. Government workers are protected from sexual harassment in the workplace under federal law. It is the EEOC’s duty to enforce these rules and all violations must be made to the Atlanta office if other avenues of settling the complaint have been exhausted. If an employee is left with no choice but to take legal action then our attorneys are prepared to help. We routinely assist clients who have:

  • Been fired from a job or denied a promotion after rejecting a supervisor’s sexual advances
  • Been inappropriately touched, sexually assaulted, or been the subject of lewd comments in the workplace
  • Been routinely subjected to sexist comments, jokes, coarse language, or unwanted emails
  • Been routinely subjected to a supervisor or co-worker’s unwanted sexual advances
