At Green Savits, LLC, we find this unacceptable. If you have dealt with sexual harassment, our experienced employment attorneys will fight to bring you justice. This blog explains how workplace sexual harassment is defined and how to file a claim against your harasser and your employer.

Your right to a sexual-harassment-free extends to behavior that is not targeted at you. If you reported the sexual harassment of another person and were retaliated against, you may also be able to file a claim against your employer.
At Green Savits, LLC, our attorneys are committed to pursuing justice for survivors of sexual harassment. We will fight tirelessly to ensure that your harasser is punished for their behavior, and your employer is held accountable for enabling them.
