Sexual Harassment

Michigan Sexual Harassment Lawyers

Our southeast Michigan law firm, Pitt McGehee Palmer Rivers & Golden, helps people who have experienced sexual harassment in the workplace. Sexual harassment is a complex matter, involving not only stereotypical sexual groping or sexual bribery, but also the creation of a hostile work environment.

We have the knowledge to handle sexual harassment matters. Each partner at our law firm brings twenty-five years of experience to these cases. We know how to conduct discovery to uncover details of harassment, interviewing witnesses, requesting documents, and building a case that works at trial or in settlement negotiations. For more information about sexual harassment, contact our Royal Oak law firm.

• A boss demanding sex as a condition for promotion, raise, better office, or improved job assignment (quid pro quo harassment)
• An organization that creates a hostile work environment by allowing jokes and comments of a sexual nature, groping, touching, or the display of sexually explicit pictures or objects
• Derogatory and insulting comments about a person's body or sexually attractiveness 
• An employer retaliating after an employee rebuffs sexual advances 
• Assault, grabbing, rape, or other sexually criminal behavior by a supervisor or co-worker
