Harassment Takes Many Forms

Many victims of sexual abuse and harassment are not sure of whether the offending behavior is actually illegal. We can assess your specific situation and explain your options for holding the wrongdoer accountable. Our attorneys have extensive experience in handling sexual abuse and harassment cases in a variety of circumstances, including:

• Student sexual abuse and harassment. sexual abuse and harassment from teacher to student in an education setting, or from coach to athlete, has become all too common. Your rights are protected by law. We will work tirelessly on your behalf to get you the compensation you deserve.
• Workplace harassment. If your employer has hinted that it will be to your benefit to engage in sexual behavior, this is called quid pro quo sexual abuse and harassment. You may feel that you have no recourse if you want to keep your job. This is not true. New York has some of the strongest employee protection laws in the world. We can evaluate your case and give you our professional opinion.
• Gender discrimination. By law, employers are prohibited from discriminating against employees on the basis of gender, race, national origin, religion and membership in other protected classes. This can mean something as overt as firing you due to your gender or as insidious as creating a hostile work environment over a long time. Our team has extensive experience in state and federal courts, and we are prepared to go to trial to ensure that you receive compensation.

Our firm has also been a pioneer in the fight against sexual abuse and harassment in internet company workplaces along Silicon Alley in New York.
