I hired Attorney Anita Grace Edwards to represent me in a child support matter through the county. She was thorough and an effective fighter for my cause. She persevered with me through this case while offering wise counsel, expertise, and support through many obstacles and hurdles thrown at us by the opposing side. I am thankful for the win, but most of all the justice Attorney Edwards got for me after a two-year battle. I highly recommend her for any family law matter.

My experience with Steffans Legal was fantastic . Attorney Steffans helped me to recover lost wages. Attorney Steffans was professional and able to answer all my questions in an extremely timely manner. I’m not the most patient person and I tend to have a lot of questions - Attorney Steffans answered all of my questions . The case settled out of court for a sizable amount of money. The entire process took about 6 months. I can’t tell you enough how happy I was and am with Steffans Legal.

I’d like to take a few moments to express my gratitude towards my attorney Mr Ben Steffans . I called upon him last November with an incident at my work place and what direction to go in. From the moment on I was treated with respect , always kept in the loop over what was going on and he always gave me his opinion of what to do and never judged or argued if I thought differently. I ask a lot more questions than the average person and he answered everyone and never got aggravated . He made the process very simple and as time efficient as possible . I would highly recommend his office to anyone In need of legal assistance at the workplace !

I sought expert guidance for an employment law matter that was a complex and complicated case for many reasons. I spoke to several other attorneys regarding my situation and they all informed me that due to the complexity of my case it was going to be quite a challenge to take on. During my search I came across Attorney Benjamin Knox Steffans . After my first conversation with Ben I immediately felt so much weight lifted off my shoulders because he was going to handle this legal matter with me head on.He showed me in so many ways throughout how outstanding of attorney he truly is. He came up with strategies that were incredibly effective for the different situations that came up throughout these extremely difficult six months for me. He ALWAYS kept me up-to-date and stayed in contact frequently. There was never a time that I was not able to get in contact with him and his response time is incredible. His extreme knowledge for employment law discrimination and wrongful termination is incredibly articulate. He uses his strengths and knowledge from his past working on both sides of employer and employee law and that was a huge key to my success in the legal matter. I felt like Ben was always a couple steps ahead because he knew the employer side and what they might say and try to do. Ben closely guide me through the process, he believed in me and he gave me the motivation I needed while battling my own severe chronic illness to continue to follow through even when times got really difficult. Ben provided outstanding strategies and his grasp and knowledge of employment law and the intricacies of litigation put him far above the rest. His negotiation skills exceeded my expectations in every way his professionalism was outstanding. With that all being said the true victory was finding a lawyer that had such dedication to the case and his profession. If you are ever seeking or have any questions regarding any type of employee /employer relations law I would highly recommend Attorney Benjamin Knox Steffens.

I hired Mr. Tatulli on three cases and he successfully represented me by winning a case by exposing a mayor who fabricated data against me (wrongful termination/suspension). His research and closing statements unequivocally won over the city council resulting in my reinstatement. Mr. Tatulli provides the legal knowledge, constant and effective communication, die-hard commitment, the highest level of integrity, and the demonstrated ability to take on any firm that is believed to be a legal industry champion and slay them with his stone of intelligence and a slingshot of passion that is second to none. The second (defamation) and third (employment) cases are ongoing and positive results have been evidenced with the defamation case and we are confident of the outcome for the employment case. He is David "the counselor" seeking justice against what often appears to be legal Goliaths!

I felt that he cared about my situation and it helped to ease the stress I had.

Sam provided free consultation regarding job law. His advice was spot on and relevant to my situation. I took notes and ask him to proofread them. He made several corrections and made sure I understood the law and the strategy. He told me that I didn’t have a strong case, but recommended actions I could take to protect myself. Later when I needed a lawyer that specialized in Disability Law, he recommended a competent firm. Sam is a very good lawyer that is honest and cares about people, even when they are not paying the bills.

I had a wrongful termination case that was against a multinational corporation with a reputation for aggressively contesting lawsuits. After Sam heard my side of the story, he advised me of the pros and cons of continuing. He was undaunted at the prospect of going to trial in federal court if it got that far. He handled all the communications. I was kept informed of every step. Sam gave me advice and let me lean on his experiences to take all the correct steps. He found a mediator that was fair and unbiased. The case was resolved in less than six months. If I ever have to recommend someone who is compassionate yet tough enough to lay it on the line, it is Sam.

Prior to my being able to retire, I was "let go" from my position. As a professor, I had never received a bad review in my seventeen years of employment, and my students were very positive about my teaching. I had published books, represented my institution here and abroad and organized major colloquiums. My identity was wrapped up in being a professor, so I was at a complete loss about what to do when I lost my job. I will always be grateful for the help and understanding I received from William Corman. When he entered the picture, his sterling reputation was recognized by my former employers. His efforts on my behalf were taken very seriously. Any attempt I would have made regarding a settlement would have been dismissed. I ended up with a sum of money that would see me through a couple of years if I needed it. Time to pause and reflect on the future without the stress of financial hardship was essential -- required in order to think clearly and logically about how to go forward instead of falling into a lengthy depression. I thank William Corman for his help in making it possible to find my way to work that I enjoy. I am paid considerably more than a professor in my current job. I have recommended William Corman to others, and will return to him myself if I need an attorney. I should mention that my settlement was reached without having to go to court. That was a blessing. And, to add to the positive: William Corman is a personable, kind human being. His presence and attention to our conversations made a painful time for me much less difficult.

I found myself in a serious employment situation, and was referred to Bill Corman by my sister who had researched local best practice attorneys for me. Bill was incredibly responsive, knowledgeable and articulate about the legal aspects of my case. He is direct and honest, and clearly has a wealth of experience and expertise in labor law. He kept me informed through the process, stayed on point despite my tendency to meander off on my emotions, and was very respectful of my finances in regards to his fees. He was always professional, respectful, and non- judgmental as he gathered information about the case. Bill was able to quickly achieve a positive outcome, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone with a labor/employment issue. He is results oriented and it is apparent that he genuinely cares about the best interests of his clients. If you must seek legal counsel, Bill can definitely get results and minimize the painfulness of the process.

I had taken on a large company where I had worked for personal wrong-doing. I received a lot of rejections from other attorneys; however, I knew that I had a strong case, and knew I just needed to find the RIGHT attorney that saw what I saw in my case. Then, I met Mr. Corman. He invited me into his office, and listen intently to what I had to say, asked questions, reviewed some documentation that I had. By the end of the meeting he told me that he would take on my case. He also gave me a clear and accurate assessment of how much the fees would be ( he stayed true to this to the end of the case). There were subsequent meetings after that, and he never gave up on me or the case - always keeping me apprised on the progression of my case. To make a long story short - We won the case!!! Without Mr. Corman's dedication, and belief in me and my case - I could not have won. Thanks again, Mr Corman.

I reached out to a few attorneys on a Saturday, a day after I was let go from my job. Valiant Law returned my call within minutes. I arranged a consultation for the following week. I didn’t even need to talk to any other attorneys, I knew that Valiant Law would be the best to handle my case and they proved that they were. Any time I called or emailed for an update, I always got a quick response and detailed answers to my questions. They made the process as clear as possible and I always felt that my best interest was their priority. In the end I received a settlement that I was very happy with.

Vernon has been absolutely amazing. A year and half after I had been injured at work and after receiving medical treatment, it was time to start the settlement process. I was given an offer and wasn't sure if it was good. I found The Sumwalt Group on Google and saw the 5 star reviews. I reached out to them to see if I could get some advice. Vernon was the one to call me and gave me some wonderful free advice on countering and what would be a good amount. He also looked over the settlement agreement I received to make sure it wouldn't mess up any potential social security/disability in the future. Vernon made me feel like he cared and like he wanted the best for me on this settlement and helped me to avoid having to hire a lawyer and drag out the process. I hope I never get hurt on the job again, but if I ever do I will definitely reach out to them again.

We had a new employee with less than 90 days service, and after 5 weeks of classroom and OJT training, violate one of our most stringent work rules----twice. The first time we gave her a written warning, the second time it happened we terminated her employment. She filed complaints with both the Federal EEOC and the State ERD claiming discrimination based on her sex, age, harassment, and religion. The State ERD deferred to the EEOC to investigate and they found no merit in her charges. They then dismissed and issued a Right to Sue letter. The claimant filed suit in Federal Court and we engaged our attorney Al Seneczko to help us defend against it. He provided excellent advice, some of which was quite unique and effective with the court. He also handled all court documents and provided superb and very responsive service. We would definitely hire Al again to help us with an employee relations issue.

We have been clients of Al Seneczko for close to 25 years. He is by far the most thorough, creative, client-caring attorney that we have worked with. We do not ever want to be represented by any other labor attorney, so much that, in a recent work comp court appearance, we paid out of our pocket to have Al represent us rather than the attorney that was free of charge to us through our work comp carrier. We were not disappointed with our choice to do that as the outcome of the case was very positively in our favor. Al truly cares about your organization; almost as if he was an employee himself! I highly recommend using Al Seneczko for any labor issue you might have - you will not be disappointed.

I was terminated from a large fortune 100 financial services company at age 59. I was in sales and had been employed by this company and predecessors for 26 years. I had built a large and profitable book of business over my tenure however my termination was due to my inability to meet new business sales goals which had been dramatically increased shortly before the termination. Despite fierce opposition from their deep legal department, we were able to negotiate a very favorable settlement for my case. I felt very comfortable and confident in Larry Schaefer"s knowledge, interest and hard work on my behalf. I gave him a large amount of information and Larry studied it all and completely understood all the facts surrounding my case. Larry has had much experience representing age discrimination clients against other fortune 500 companies and this background made me very comfortable in accepting Larry"s guidance and strategy. I would highly recommend Larry for to anyone in a similar situation that I was in.

I'm thankful I met Larry when I found myself in a difficult employment situation. During my engagement with Larry, he demonstrated a deep understanding of employment law, he helped me think through my options and ultimately acted as my advocate as he negotiated a successful outcome. Larry is the consummate professional with the right balance of humanity and strategic-thinking that sets him apart from other lawyers. He is definitely someone you want on your side of the table if you find yourself needing an experienced employment lawyer!

I was put on the streets so I could not fight a case against police when the police illegally impounded my RV I was living in. I was getting harassed everyday by them, now homeless until I was able to put enough money together and bought a truck. 2 weeks after buying this truck outright from dealer for $3000, I was pulled over for no reason. It was literally just so they could impound my brand new truck again and keep me on the street homeless. I spent all I had on truck so I could not get it out of impound and they sold it at auction leaving me homeless with nothing once again. Completely unaware that the cops actually wrote a ticket for this incident, I missed the court date because of them leaving me homeless with nothing for the second time and can’t get mail. They are charging me with misdemeanor drug possession, misdemeanor possession of tear gas. Like wtf (I had a can of pepper spray on a keychain under the seat. There also was no drugs so no paraphernalia want to plead not guilty and fight the case but I don’t want to lose my bed at homeless shelter by going to jail until court date. How can I do this?

Deciding to take legal action is something I never thought I would be faced with; it's very personal, emotional, and not an easy feat. That's why choosing the right lawyer is the most important step in everyone's legal journey. I was lucky enough to have had such a wonderful attorney experience with Christina Cheung. She was my confidant and partner during a very difficult time in my life. I am so thankful for her dedicated service with my case. She was always available to chat when needed and her supportive voice/helpful guidance was instrumental in getting me through this challenging time in my life. I truly appreciate the time we spent together, and will always be thankful for her hard work! She is truly the best ;)

Tammy was the partner overseeing a matter I was going through with my previous employer. Although I worked more closely with her senior associate on the matter, her expertise and leadership greatly influenced the excellent representation I received from her firm and allowed me to get the result I wanted. Moreover, on more than one occasion, Tammy made herself readily available to chat about my situation and gave me guidance and clarity on the concerns I had. Even after my matter was resolved, Tammy personally advised me on some follow-on concerns I had related to this same matter, which needed attention right away. She provided me with some next steps on how to resolve my issue and even encouraged me to reach back out to her team if the situation did not get resolved as expected.

She and another lawyer really took the time to understand my case and were realistic about the possible outcomes. By setting the right expectations from the beginning and encouraging me to stand up for what I deserved, I ended up with a satisfactory outcome. I couldn't have done it without them.

I was being discriminated against at work and spoke with Emily about my case. I had been offered a paltry severance after I complained about my manager’s behavior. I had documented evidence that wrong doing had taken place and that my employer had done nothing to protect my legal rights. Emily negotiated a much better separation agreement and helped to protect my rights in the process. She is a wonderful attorney and will definitely deliver when representing her clients. She is thorough and a real straight shooter. If you are in a position of needing legal representation during what must be a stressful time and difficult situation, Emily is the person that can get the job done. I very highly recommend her and could not imagine selecting a better attorney. Thank you Emily for protecting my legal rights.

I recently went through a nightmare of a work discrimination situation, and am forever grateful that I found Louise! Her responsiveness was incredible: when things were time sensitive—she magically carved out moments to be on the phone, right when I needed her most. I was amazed at her ability to work with large amounts of information and immediately get to the heart of the matter. I had talked to several lawyers before finding Louise Herman, and most of them sounded like car salesmen. They would immediately chat me up, asking me about my kids and hobbies, feigning intense interest right before quoting me huge dollar signs. In contrast, Louise is a truly genuine human being. I never doubted that she actually cared about my predicament. I’m sure being a lawyer is extremely difficult, but Louise has clearly retained what I can only assume is her true passion for helping people. And I had only worked with her briefly before being amazed at the results: I ended up with more severance than I ever would have expected! I am forever grateful to Louise, not just for the improved outcome for my work situation, but for her encouragement and support during one of the most difficult times of my life. I will never forget the clarity and compassion she offered when things were at their most difficult as she swiftly helped me navigate very complex issues. If you’re looking for a lawyer, you just found one.

Pilar came through for me when I needed it the most. I was only a juvenile, when they charged me (State) with Rape, when in reality, I didn't even rape the victim. Pilar did what she had to, in order for me to get moved to the Juvenile court system. Yes, I had to endure the House Arrest for a number of months, but she knew what she was doing. She won my case. I hired her because of her background. We had a similar culture. Also, the fact that she was a female attorney, who fought hard for what she wanted, I thought it would be intimidating, as I was proven right. We won my case, and I was indeed moved down to the Juvenile court system, and she did what she could to minimize my requirements. I would really recommend her to anyone. She used to be a former prosecutor I believe, so that gives her an huge advantage as a defense attorney.

What a Sexual Harassment Lawyer Can Do for You

A sexual harassment lawyer specializes in representing individuals who have experienced unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature that affects their employment or creates a hostile work environment. These lawyers help victims understand their rights under federal and state laws, such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, and guide them through the process of filing complaints, negotiating settlements, or pursuing litigation. They also assist employers in implementing anti-harassment policies, conducting investigations, and defending against claims.

Whether you're an employee facing harassment or an employer seeking to address or prevent harassment claims, a sexual harassment lawyer can provide the legal expertise needed to navigate these sensitive issues.

When Should I Hire a Sexual Harassment Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a sexual harassment lawyer in the following situations:

  • For Employees:
    • Experiencing workplace harassment: If you are subjected to unwelcome sexual advances, comments, or behavior that creates a hostile or offensive work environment, a lawyer can help you understand your rights and the steps to take.
    • Retaliation for reporting harassment: If you've reported harassment to your employer and are facing retaliation such as demotion, termination, or other adverse actions, a lawyer can help protect your rights.
    • Failure of employer to address complaints: If your employer does not take appropriate action after you've reported harassment, a lawyer can advise on how to escalate the matter legally.
    • Constructive dismissal: If the harassment is so severe that you feel forced to resign, a lawyer can help you pursue a claim for constructive dismissal.
    • Negotiating settlements: If you're considering a settlement with your employer, a lawyer can negotiate on your behalf to ensure you receive fair compensation.
  • For Employers:
    • Receiving a harassment complaint: If an employee has filed a harassment complaint, a lawyer can guide you through the legal obligations for investigating and addressing the complaint.
    • Implementing anti-harassment policies: A lawyer can help you develop and implement policies and training programs to prevent harassment and protect your organization legally.
    • Defending against claims: If your organization is facing a harassment lawsuit, a lawyer can represent you in court or during settlement negotiations.

Hiring a lawyer early can help ensure that your rights are protected and that you take the appropriate legal steps.

What Does a Sexual Harassment Lawyer Do?

A sexual harassment lawyer provides various legal services depending on whether they represent the employee or the employer. Their responsibilities often include:

  • For Employees:
    • Legal consultation: Provide advice on your rights and the merits of your case, helping you understand the legal definitions of harassment and applicable laws.
    • Filing complaints: Assist in filing a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or state agencies, ensuring that all procedural requirements are met.
    • Negotiating settlements: Engage in negotiations with the employer to secure compensation for damages such as lost wages, emotional distress, or punitive damages.
    • Litigation: Represent you in court if a lawsuit is filed, presenting evidence, questioning witnesses, and making legal arguments to support your case.
    • Protection against retaliation: Advise on how to handle retaliation from your employer and take legal action if necessary.
  • For Employers:
    • Policy development: Help create comprehensive anti-harassment policies and training programs to prevent harassment in the workplace.
    • Internal investigations: Guide the investigation process when a complaint is made, ensuring it is thorough, impartial, and compliant with legal standards.
    • Legal defense: Represent the company in responding to EEOC complaints or lawsuits, aiming to resolve the matter efficiently and protect the organization's interests.
    • Compliance advice: Keep the company informed about changes in employment laws related to harassment and recommend best practices to maintain compliance.

How Are Sexual Harassment Lawyers Paid?

Sexual harassment lawyers typically charge for their services in various ways, depending on the nature of the case and representation:

  • For Employees:
    • Contingency fee: Many lawyers represent employees on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle the case. The fee is usually a percentage of the recovered amount, typically ranging from 25% to 40%.
    • Hourly rate: Some lawyers may charge an hourly rate, especially if the case is unlikely to result in monetary compensation but still requires legal assistance.
  • For Employers:
    • Hourly rate: Lawyers representing employers usually charge by the hour, with rates ranging from $200 to $600 or more, depending on their experience and the case complexity.
    • Retainer: Employers may pay a retainer fee for ongoing legal services, especially if they require regular legal counsel on employment matters.

It's important to discuss fees during the initial consultation to understand the cost structure and any additional expenses.

How Much Does a Sexual Harassment Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a sexual harassment lawyer varies based on several factors:

  • For Employees:
    • Contingency fees: If working on a contingency basis, you typically won't pay any upfront fees. If you win or settle, the lawyer's fee will be a percentage of the compensation. For example, if you settle for $50,000 with a 30% contingency fee, the lawyer would receive $15,000.
    • Hourly rates: If charged hourly, fees can range from $200 to $600 per hour. Total costs depend on the number of hours worked.
  • For Employers:
    • Hourly rates: Legal fees can range from $200 to $600 per hour. A straightforward case might cost between $5,000 and $20,000, while more complex litigation could exceed $50,000.
    • Retainer fees: Ongoing legal services may require a retainer ranging from $5,000 to $25,000 or more, depending on the anticipated legal work.

Always request a detailed fee agreement to understand all potential costs.

Top Questions to Ask a Sexual Harassment Lawyer

Before hiring a sexual harassment lawyer, consider asking the following questions:

  1. What experience do you have with sexual harassment cases?
    Ensure the lawyer has a strong background in handling cases similar to yours.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Understand the fee structure, including contingency fees, hourly rates, and any additional costs.
  3. What are the strengths and weaknesses of my case?
    Get an honest assessment to set realistic expectations.
  4. What is the likely timeline for my case?
    Ask how long the process might take, from filing a complaint to resolution.
  5. Will my case go to trial?
    Discuss the likelihood of settling versus going to court.
  6. How involved will I need to be?
    Understand what will be required of you throughout the process.
  7. What outcomes can I expect?
    Discuss potential remedies, such as compensation, policy changes, or reinstatement.

How to Check the Credibility of a Sexual Harassment Lawyer

To ensure you're hiring a reputable lawyer:

  • Verify their license: Check with your state bar association to confirm they are licensed and in good standing.
  • Review their experience: Look for lawyers who specialize in employment law, particularly sexual harassment cases.
  • Read client reviews: Check online reviews and testimonials on platforms like Avvo or Martindale-Hubbell.
  • Ask for references: A credible lawyer should provide references from past clients.
  • Professional memberships: Membership in organizations like the National Employment Lawyers Association (NELA) can indicate a focus on employment law.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting:

  • Detailed account: Prepare a written timeline of incidents, including dates, locations, and individuals involved.
  • Documentation: Bring any relevant documents, such as emails, text messages, voicemails, photographs, or witness statements.
  • Employment records: Provide your employment contract, employee handbook, performance reviews, and any prior complaints filed.
  • Questions: Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, or the lawyer's experience.
  • List of witnesses: Note any colleagues or individuals who may have witnessed the harassment or can support your claims.

Being well-prepared will help the lawyer assess your case effectively and provide accurate legal advice.
