What we do

A workplace sexual abuse lawyer helps you hold your employer accountable and recover what you are owed

A workplace sexual abuse lawyer represents employees who were sexually harassed, coerced, touched, or assaulted on the job — and pursues the people who did it and the company that allowed it. You do not need to have it all figured out before you reach out. You just need to be heard.

We handle the legal side so you can focus on yourself. That means protecting you from retaliation, gathering evidence, dealing with HR and insurers, and pursuing compensation for therapy, lost income, and the harm done to you. Most cases settle without you ever stepping into a courtroom.

Time limits do apply, and they vary by state. Many states have recently expanded or reopened the window to file. A free, confidential call simply tells you where you stand — no pressure, no obligation.

Where this happens

Workplaces and people we hold responsible

Sexual abuse at work crosses every industry. These are the settings and defendants we see most often.

Corporate & office

Supervisors, managers, and executives who use authority to coerce or harass employees and contractors.

Healthcare & care facilities

Hospitals, clinics, and nursing homes where staff are harassed by colleagues, supervisors, or patients the employer failed to control.

Restaurants, retail & hospitality

Hourly and tipped workers pressured by managers, owners, or customers in environments that tolerate misconduct.

Warehouses, trades & field work

Isolated job sites, night shifts, and crews where reporting feels impossible and supervisors go unchecked.

Interns & low-wage staff

New, young, or temporary workers targeted because they feel they cannot afford to complain.

Staffing agencies & third parties

Temp agencies, vendors, and clients who share responsibility when a worker is harmed.

Liability

Who can be held responsible for workplace sexual abuse?

More than just the individual who harmed you. Employers have a legal duty to keep the workplace safe, to take complaints seriously, and to stop misconduct — and they can be held responsible when they fail. We look at everyone whose negligence allowed the abuse to happen or continue.

  • The employer — for failing to act on complaints, ignoring known patterns, or creating a hostile environment.
  • Negligent hiring or retention — keeping a supervisor or coworker on after prior complaints or warning signs.
  • Failure to supervise — leaving employees alone with a known risk, or skipping background checks and training.
  • Retaliation — punishing, demoting, or firing you for reporting, which is itself unlawful.
  • Third parties — staffing agencies, franchisors, or contractors who shared control over your workplace.

Answers

Workplace sexual abuse questions, answered

What qualifies as sexual abuse or harassment in the workplace?

It is any unwelcome sexual conduct connected to your job. That includes unwanted touching or assault, sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and a pattern of sexual comments, messages, or images that makes work hostile or intimidating. It can come from a supervisor, a coworker, or a customer. If it was unwelcome and sexual, it counts.

I was sexually harassed at work — what should I do?

First, you are believed, and this was not your fault. When you feel able, write down what happened with dates and names, and save any texts, emails, or messages. You can report it internally if you feel safe doing so, but you do not have to figure out the legal path alone. A confidential call with us costs nothing and commits you to nothing.

Does HR protect the company or me?

HR's job is to protect the company first. They may be supportive, but their loyalty is to the employer. That is exactly why having your own lawyer matters: we represent only you. We can deal with HR and the company on your behalf so you are not negotiating alone or pressured into something that is not in your interest.

Will I be retaliated against if I report or sue?

Retaliation is illegal. Once you report harassment, the employer is legally required to protect you from further abuse and from being punished for speaking up. If they demote, cut hours, isolate, or fire you because you complained, that becomes a separate claim that often strengthens your case. We watch for it and act fast.

What counts as proof of a hostile work environment?

Proof is conduct that was unwelcome, sexual or based on sex, and severe or repeated enough to affect your work or wellbeing. Texts, emails, photos, schedules, witness accounts, and even your own contemporaneous notes all help. You do not need a perfect paper trail before you call — part of our job is finding and preserving the evidence.

How hard is it to win a workplace sexual abuse case?

Every case is different, but strong claims have something in common: a clear account, supporting evidence, and an employer that failed to act. Many cases never reach trial because employers prefer to settle confidentially. We give you an honest assessment up front so you know where you stand before you decide anything.

How much does a workplace sexual abuse lawyer cost?

Nothing up front. We work on a contingency basis, which means there is no fee unless we recover money for you. The first consultation is free and confidential. You should never have to choose between getting help and paying your rent — our fee comes only from a successful result.

Is there a deadline to file a workplace sexual abuse claim?

Yes, but it varies by state and by the type of claim, and some deadlines are surprisingly short. Treat the time limit as a calm fact, not a reason to panic: the sooner you reach out, the more options you keep open. One quick call lets us tell you exactly where your situation stands.

What compensation can I recover?

Compensation can cover therapy and medical care, lost wages and lost earning potential, and the emotional harm you have carried. In cases of serious employer misconduct, additional damages may apply. We tailor the claim to your actual losses — the goal is to fund your recovery and your future, not to chase a number.

Is talking to a lawyer confidential, and will I have to testify?

Yes, your first conversation is completely confidential and protected. Most cases resolve through settlement, so many survivors never testify in court. If a case does proceed, we prepare and support you at every step, and you are never forced into anything. You stay in control of your story the entire time.
