In spite of corporate training programs and news accounts of large jury verdicts, sexual harassment continues to be a serious, and all too common, problem in the workplace.

The Law Offices of Fern Trevino has counseled hundreds of employees on sexual harassment claims.  Many employees fear that they'll be fired, but the law clearly forbids retaliation for reporting sexual harassment and retaliation claims are often valuable and easy to prove.  Many employees worry that without witnesses, they can't prove that they were sexually harassed, but we know, and judges understand, that most often, sexual harassment happens behind closed doors.

Sexual harassers are often serial harassers, which means that there may be other victims and we do our best to track down those other victims and obtain their testimony.

We understand that many employees suffer severe emotional damage because of the harassment.  For some employees, reliving the lurid details through the legal process can be particularly painful.  We work closely with our clients to tailor options that best suit their needs and wishes, whether it is litigation, mediation, or informal negotiations.

If you have been sexually harassed, the Law Offices of Fern Trevino can help protect your rights.
