Oregon Sexual Harassment Attorneys

Sexual Harassment Lawyer in Portland

Sexual harassment is nothing less than a personal attack on the very core of the employee's dignity and sense of self worth.  It is rarely about sex, it's about abuse of power and it is illegal. 

Sexual harassment is any unwanted sexual attention someone experiences.  It includes repeated sexual comments, subtle or overt suggestions of a sexual nature, leering, touching, pinching, patting, pressure for dates or relationships and receiving sexually charged messages by telephone, text, email, or social media.  You can have a claim for sexual harassment if you are terminated, forced to quit or even if you are still working in the hostile work environment. 

Employers who know or should have known of harassment and tolerate or condone the behavior are liable under the law.  If you are or have been sexually harassed, you are entitled to recover your loss of earnings, benefits, emotional distress, and punitive damages. Your employer will also have to pay for your attorneys' fees and costs. 

Some of the largest verdicts have resulted from claims of sexual harassment brought against employers who simply ignored the harassment and despite their knowledge and opportunity to stop the harassment, failed to protect the victimized employee.
