Brownsville Lawyer for Hostile Work Environment Cases
Sexual harassment is not always as overt as a direct request for a sexual favor. Harassment can be as subtle as an inappropriate joke or suggestion that causes another employee to feel uncomfortable or to worry about the loss of a job. Harassment can occur against women or men from co-workers, hiring managers, supervisors and others within a company.
To complicate matters, many people who are victimized by sexual harassment fear retaliation for speaking out against inappropriate behavior. This leads to the damaged employee staying silent and the behavior goes unabated, which also threatens others in the company.
Our firm will provide a confidential place where you can talk about your situation with an experienced attorney and learn about what actions you can take to protect your rights. Attorney Carlos Hernandez has a track record of success with employment law cases involving workplace harassment.
