How can I combat sexual harassment at work?

 

No worker should ever suffer sexual harassment and anyone who commits sexual harassment should be held accountable.  But these claims can be difficult to prove and therefore it is critical to take concrete steps to best position yourself to effectively combat harassment.

Zuckerman Law represents victims of sexual harassment in Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia and we can discuss your matter with you without any fee for a preliminary consultation.  Call us at 202-262-8959 or email us through this website.

Every case is unique and you should seek advice from an experienced attorney, but in most cases, we suggest taking the following steps:

  • If there are witnesses to the harassment, work with an attorney to get signed statements corroborating that the harassment took place.
  • If there are text messages or emails evidencing harassment, work with an attorney to properly preserve this proof so that it will be admissible at trial.
  • Consult the company’s anti-harassment policy and report the harassment.
  • Document any retaliation that you experience for reporting the harassment.
  • Be cautious in gathering evidence,  In some states, surreptitious recordings are unlawful.
  • Document the harm you suffer as a result of the harassment, including the impact on your personal and professional relationships.

Zuckerman Law is dedicated to zealously representing victims of harassment and obtaining justice for victims of harassment.

 

Client Reviews of Sex Harassment Lawyer Jason Zuckerman

We are proud of our commitment to exceptional client service, including our prompt response to client inquiries and zealous advocacy.  Recently Avvo awarded Jason Zuckerman its Client Choice Award based on client reviews.  The following two reviews were provided by former clients of Jason Zuckerman concerning sexual harassment matters:

“I truly can’t say enough good things about Jason and his team – they are incredibly effective, professional, and consistently wonderful to work with, even in very high-pressure circumstances. Jason and his colleagues were exceptionally patient with and responsive to my concerns, consulting with me on every step of the process and explaining different options. Beyond their impeccable legal representation and client advocacy, I also felt personally cared for and supported during what was a particularly nightmarish experience of workplace harassment. When needed, they also devoted significant extra time and effort to my case to ensure that my interests were protected. I am incredibly grateful for their representation and wholeheartedly recommend Zuckerman Law to anyone seeking justice in employment-related matters.”

“When I sought out a DC-based attorney to represent me, I expected a competent attorney who would get me through my sexual harassment lawsuit. What I didn’t expect was to find someone like Jason: a truly outstanding attorney who made me feel like a priority, paid close attention to detail, and brought enormous expertise to the table. I chose to hire Jason to represent me after consulting seven other lawyers — and from day one, Jason was the only one who it clear that he actually cared about me and my case. I cannot be happier that I chose Jason. He represented me with professionalism and fearlessness every step of the way. Jason always made me feel like a priority, even though he was busy with other cases/clients simultaneously. He never rushed me or pressured me, and kept me “in the loop” the entire time while we were dealing with the opposing side.”
