Sexual Harassment Lawyer in Los Angeles

---

Sexual harassment can make going to work feel impossible. California law protects you, whether the harasser is a supervisor, a coworker, or even a customer, and you don't have to put up with it to keep your job.

Consultations are free and confidential, and you pay no attorney's fees unless we win your case. If we don't win, you owe nothing, including case costs.

Quid pro quo: a supervisor ties a job benefit (a raise, a schedule, keeping your job) to sexual favors or a relationship.

Hostile work environment: unwelcome sexual or gender-based conduct that makes the workplace hostile, intimidating, or offensive. Under California law, a single incident can be enough if it is severe.

Examples include unwanted touching, sexual comments or jokes, comments about your body, sexual messages or images, repeated requests for dates after you said no, and insults based on gender, pregnancy, gender identity, or sexual orientation.

If a supervisor harassed you, the employer is generally strictly liable. If a coworker or customer harassed you, the employer is liable if it knew or should have known and didn't take immediate, appropriate action. The individual harasser can also be personally liable. California's harassment protections apply to employers of every size, even those with one employee.

Report it in writing to HR or a manager if you can, and keep a copy. Write down each incident with the date, what happened, and who saw it. Save texts, emails, and messages. Retaliation for reporting is illegal. If things got worse after you complained, that is a separate claim.
