Sexual Harassment Lawyers Serving New York & New Jersey

Employment Attorneys Stand Up Against Sexual Harassment

New York and New Jersey sexual harassment lawyer

Sexual harassment is a specific type of discrimination. You are protected by law against physical, verbal, and emotional harassment of a sexual nature, regardless of your gender or the gender of your harasser. Our employment lawyers are experienced in handling a wide range of workplace harassment cases. We have worked on both sides of this type of situation, and we are equally adept at defending you against false accusations or pursuing the responsible party if you are a victim of sexual harassment.

Gary S. Graifman, along with his team of employment attorneys and support staff, will thoroughly investigate accusations of sexual harassment. We get to the facts of a case and use those facts to negotiate and litigate with equal proficiency in both state and federal courts. We offer total commitment to your goals from start to finish of your legal matter and are available to our clients when questions or concerns arise.

What are the Types of Sexual Harassment in the Workplace?

There are two types of sexual harassment: hostile work environment and quid pro quo.

What Constitutes a Hostile Work Environment?

A hostile work environment includes:

Negative, threatening, gender-based remarks directed at you or overheard by you
Jokes, false stories or other sexually suggestive comments
Unwanted verbal pressure to be seen socially, outside the workplace
Inappropriate touching
Sexually suggestive visual displays in the workplace — posters, pictures, magazines, computer screen savers
Sexually suggestive inter-office correspondence or e-mails
Failure of your employer to take your reports of sexual harassment seriously

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has hostile work environment laws that are meant to protect you.

What is Quid Pro Quo Sexual Harassment?

Quid pro quo sexual harassment is a threat of dismissal or demotion for failure to submit to a sexual demand. Unlike hostile work environment harassment, quid pro quo sexual harassment needs only to happen once to be legally actionable.

If you dread going to your office, warehouse, or factory each day, or if you are an employer facing harassment allegations, you should contact our employment law attorneys immediately.

Need to Stop Harassment at Work?

The EEOC’s sexual harassment laws can protect you.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. KGG Law, and Barry Kantrowitz in particular, set the bar high for what a thorough, practical, strategic, compassionate and smart lawyer can be. Everything about Barry's advice and representation was exemplary and the stress mitigation that resulted was invaluable. On top of that, the ultimate result Barry achieved was beyond what was reasonable to expect and we are forever grateful. Often, people say that you hire a lawyer to prevent a problem. Sometimes, unfortunately, you need an attorney to solve a problem and I could not recommend Barry and his firm any more highly in that regard.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My dad had a great experience with this law firm. From the very beginning, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and always willing to answer our questions. They kept us informed throughout the entire process and made what could have been a very stressful situation much easier to handle. We truly appreciated their dedication, honesty, and hard work. Thanks to their support, my dad felt confident every step of the way. We are very grateful for everything they did and would highly recommend this firm to anyone looking for reliable legal representation.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a wonderful experience working with Sam Smith. He was very responsive, thorough, and easy to work with from start to finish. He walked me through everything clearly and made what started as a very stressful situation for me into something completely manageable. I would not hesitate to recommend him and the firm!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kate Carballo is a dedicated, passionate, and creative attorney whom I had the pleasure to lecture with at a state trial lawyer's conference. Kate's lecture demonstrated how she uses her innovative and "out-of-the-box thinking" to achieve outstanding results for her injured clients. That Kate is certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as a civil trial attorney is a testament to her skills, experience and commitment to excellence.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Was referred to KGG law by a friend and could not have asked for better legal representation. They walked me through every step of the process after my accident and began every call with “ how are you feeling” which was just one example of how much they care about their clients. They handled my case very efficiently, professionally and courteously. My attorney Kate Carballo was a rock star! So clearly experienced, she consistently made me feel at ease with the process. Highly recommend

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience with the team at KGG Law. While it was a traumatic time for our family, they made it very easy for us and explained all of our options. They even performed due diligence to make sure that after our settlement, there would be no further issues which I think is even more important than the settlement itself. Thank you!
