Law Office of Daren A. Webber

Sexual Harassment

Our office understands that sexual harassment is one of the most crushing, terrible things an employee can endure. It is inappropriate, degrading, humiliating, and interferes with an employee's ability to do his or her job.  In 2006, the EEOC received some 12,025 charges of sex harassment.  New York sexual harassment attorney Daren A. Webber will show you that you do not need to put up with sexual harassment in the workplace.

It is important to remember that sexual harassment occurs in a variety of circumstances. The victim, as well as the harasser, may be a woman or a man and the victim does not have to be of the opposite sex of his or her harasser. Furthermore, the harasser can be not only the victim's supervisor, but also may be a co-worker.

Sexual harassment in the workplace is unlawful because it violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the New York State Human Rights Law, as well as the New York City Human Rights Law.

Sexual harassment is considered sexual discrimination and can come in a variety of forms and can include unwelcome sexual advances or propositions, requests or demands for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical behavior which explicitly or implicitly affects your employment, unreasonably interferes with your employment, or creates a hostile work environment.

Our firm believes that the workplace should be a free and safe place for an individual to perform the tasks of his or her job and make money to provide for one's family. It is our belief that sexual harassment in an environment (such as the workplace) where an individual spends most of his or her time, is particularly odious and should not be tolerated. Contact us to discuss your case and end unlawful sexual harassment.
