Many times, victims of workplace harassment or discrimination do not say anything and they go about their days without speaking out against the crimes being committed against them. That’s because they are afraid of the potential repercussions that could occur. You may be afraid that you will be demoted, harassed or discriminated against even more, or even potentially lose your job. However, there are laws in place that prevent employers from legally retaliating against workplace victims. Over the years, we have used these laws to help our clients get the fair treatment they need and deserve while holding their abusers legally and financially accountable. Let us help you, too.
