Harassment Attorneys
The Venardi Elam Firm can help you navigate
complicated workplace harassment laws and ensure that your rights are not
violated. Both California and federal government are very specific
about how employers must treat employees. These laws provide rights
for employees and a means for seeking redress when they have been treated
contrary to these laws. We have litigated many harassment cases in both
state and federal courts and have obtained settlements.
In many employment cases, we do not charge any legal fees unless and until
we win your case. If we do not succeed in obtaining a settlement or verdict
in your favor, we do not charge you for our legal services!

Harassment:
Employees are often under the impression that all forms of "harassment" or generalized bad treatment at work are prohibited by law. However, to be unlawful, harassment in the workplace must be based on one of the following "protected characteristics": race, color, national origin, ancestry, religion, sex, pregnancy and childbirth, sexual orientation, gender, marital status, age (40 or older), physical or mental disability, medical condition, or veteran status. Harassment includes all forms of offensive or unwelcome physical or verbal conduct based on any of these factors that interferes with an employee's work or creates an offensive or hostile working environment.
