Why Should I Hire an Attorney to Represent me in a Sexual Harassment Claim?
It takes courage to file a sexual harassment claim to try and stop that kind of abuse. But filing a complaint with your human resources department does not always mean that your problems are solved. Aggressors can sometimes gain confidence when you file a complaint and nothing happens. It is important to stand your ground and make sure aggressors knows that their behavior is not acceptable. Sometimes you need help to do that.
Are You Completely Familiar With Your Rights?
If your company or the aggressor want to stop you from pursuing a sexual harassment complaint, they might begin to tell you things that are not true. You might start to hear different versions of what your rights are and that can affect your entire situation. An experienced attorney is going to know what your rights are and give you the confidence you need to stand your ground.
