Sexual Harassment Attorneys Palo Alto

Home / Sexual Harassment Attorneys Palo Alto

Sexual harassment is an unfortunate reality that can harm individuals emotionally, professionally and financially. If you’ve experienced inappropriate behavior in your workplace, you are not alone. At the Law Offices of Jeannette A. Vaccaro PC, we understand how overwhelming it can feel to face these challenges. Your well-being is our priority, and we’re committed to helping you stand up against workplace harassment, holding wrongdoers accountable and securing the justice you deserve.

Understanding Sexual Harassment

Sexual harassment at work generally falls into two categories:

  1. Quid Pro Quo Harassment. This occurs when workplace benefits, promotions or continued employment are tied to tolerating or accepting unwanted sexual advances.
  2. Hostile Work Environment. This happens when repeated, unwelcome conduct creates an intimidating, offensive or harmful work atmosphere, interfering with your ability to perform your job duties.

Sexual harassment can take many forms, including:

  • Unwanted sexual advances or requests for favors
  • Sexual comments, jokes or gestures
  • Sharing explicit content or spreading rumors
  • Retaliation for rejecting advances
  • Physical contact that makes you uncomfortable

It’s important to note that victims and perpetrators can be any gender, and the actions need not involve direct supervisors to qualify as harassment. If you’re unsure whether what you’ve experienced is considered harassment, our attorney helps assess your situation.

The Impact of Workplace Harassment

Experiencing sexual harassment can take a significant toll on your mental, emotional, and financial well-being. It can lead to:

  • Anxiety, depression, or other mental health challenges
  • Difficulty concentrating or performing at work
  • Loss of job opportunities or career momentum
  • Damaged self-esteem and personal relationships

Feeling powerless in these situations is common, but know that you have rights. California law protects employees from sexual harassment through the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA). These laws are designed to help victims seek justice and compensation.
