Los Angeles Workplace Harassment Attorney With 26 Years of Experience
Nobody ever expects to become the victim of sexual harassment in the workplace, but situations sometimes get out of hand. Especially in a poor economy, many people feel victimized by their employers, and they doubt that there is anything to do about it.
If you have experienced sexual harassment by a boss, coworker, colleague or contract worker who provides services for your employer, you do have options. At our Pasadena law firm — the Law Office of Edward Torres — we represent people who have been harmed by sexual harassment or discrimination. By taking legal action in California courts, we can help people stay in their jobs without harassment or receive compensation for harassment they experienced.
About the Law on Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination that violates California and federal laws, specifically the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. These two complicated pieces of legislation require a skilled attorney to interpret, but at the Law Office of Edward Torres, we are up to the challenge. Our law firm exclusively handles employment law matters. This has helped us develop in-depth knowledge of the law in this area.
Under the law, sexual harassment can be found in many different situations. The law recognizes that the harasser may be a man or a woman and that the victim does not have to be of the opposite sex. It also recognizes that the victim doesn't have to be the one who was harassed — a victim can be anyone who was affected by the offensive conduct.
