Sexual Harassment & Work Discrimination
The laws prohibiting sexual harassment and work discrimination (based on race, creed, gender, sex and disability), are clear that such conduct should never be tolerated. Sexual harassment includes unwelcome and agressive sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature that affects an individual's employment, unreasonably interferes with an individual's work performance, or creates a hostile, or offensive work environment. Further, unlawful discrimination may occur when any of the above mentioned protected classifications is the reason for adverse action in the work-place. Such personally humiliating conduct is wrong and it is illegal!
We believe that part of our success is due to the fact that we represent both plaintiffs and defendants who have civil litigation matters, and this practice has allowed us to "see both sides of the field" when representing clients. Our business clients have been very pleased with the results when we have acted as their defense counsel, as have the clients we have represent as plaintiffs.
It is important for individuals who feel they are being subjected to sexual harassment or job discrimination based on the above referenced protected classifications, to take action immediately! Beck & Poorman, LLC, has extensive knowledge concerning the scope of the laws prohibiting sexual harassment and job discrimination, as well as the obligations of employers to put an end to such conduct. We have represented both employers and employees in these areas of the law for decades.
When sexual harassment or unlawful discrimination in the work-place happens to an employee, the results can be traumatic! Prolonged humiliation, mental anguish, anxiety, low self esteem, and lost wages are often involved. Sometimes, physical abuse is involved, as well as the need to incur medical and mental health care expenses. Sadly, work-place sexual harassment can result in loss of earnings, job loss and even loss of a career. At Beck & Poorman, we understand that you may need help with payment of medical and mental health care expenses, lost wages, and other out of pocket costs. This is why our initial consultation for these cases is always free, and during that office visit or phone interview, we will provide you with a thorough and professional evaluation of your case. This will include providing you with a road map of what legal steps need to be taken immediately to insure that your case receives the best result possible.
We have represented hundreds of clients during our lawyers' combined experience of over thirty-five years. We have obtained many large settlements for our clients. These include damages for pain and suffering, emotional distress, lost wages and career damages, medical and mental health care, and punitive damages.
