Sexual Harassment Lawyers

Defending Victims of Sexual Harassment in the Workplace

Sexual harassment in the workplace has been illegal for decades, and increased attention to sexual harassment in recent years has increased public support for victims and survivors. The law is on your side. Public opinion is on your side. And victims and survivors need to have advocates on their side.

Some individuals want representation publicly, calling out sexual harassment and holding individuals and companies accountable in court. Other individuals want to ensure accountability and consequences for wrongdoers and compensation for their damages and suffering without publicizing their experiences.

Are you a victim of sexual harassment in the workplace? Call Sanford Heisler Sharp today at 646-512-8609 or contact us online to start your defense with our sexual harassment attorney.
