Orange County, California, Workplace Harassment Attorneys

At Mathew & George, we represent employees in sexual harassment, race harassment, religion-based harassment, age harassment and other workplace harassment claims. These cases typically involve one of two types of workplace harassment:

• Quid pro quo claims: Quid pro quo claims usually involve an individual in a supervisory role who demands certain behavior, sexual favors or other sexual conduct in exchange for something, such as a promotion. These claims can also involve bargaining against not doing something, such as firing the employee, reducing pay, taking away hours, taking away responsibility or moving forward with any other unfavorable employment action. In many cases, these types of harassment can also lead to a sex discrimination claim against the employer.
• Hostile work environment claims: Alternatively, many harassment cases involve the nature of the work environment in which the employee is forced to work. A barrage of derogatory e-mails, pictures, jokes, comments or other abusive behavior — whether religion-based, sex-based, race-based, etc. — can be enough to cause a hardworking employee to quit. In some instances, it is enough to cause emotional problems and necessitate counseling. This type of hostile work environment is also considered employment harassment and is prohibited by law.

If you work in Los Angeles or in greater Southern California and if your employment was terminated because you spoke out and demanded your rights by reporting harassment, chances are that your employment rights were violated. Our employment law attorneys can represent your interests in a retaliation claim.
