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!

The most relevant laws protecting employees are:

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.
