Consultation

“Do I have a case?” is the biggest question on clients’ minds. Schedule a consultation with an attorney for an honest analysis of your situation, and what steps might come next.

Negotiation

Negotiating settlement with an employer is often the first step in seeking recompense for discrimination. This involves your attorney communicating directly with your employer’s counsel to reach an agreement.

Litigation

While most cases settle before any lawsuits are filed, we have engaged in forceful litigation in state and federal courts and can help you understand what litigation might entail.

Agreement Review

Have you already been offered a settlement agreement relating to your claims of sexual harassment? Understanding your obligations before you sign is crucial. Schedule a consultation to walk through the agreement with an attorney.
