What Counts as Sexual Harassment and Signs You May Have a Claim
Sexual harassment in the workplace generally falls into two categories:
Quid pro quo — when job benefits or decisions are tied to unwanted conduct
Hostile work environment — when repeated behavior creates an uncomfortable or intimidating workplace
This may include unwanted comments, inappropriate messages, repeated advances, physical conduct, or behavior that makes it difficult to do your job.
In many cases, the behavior doesn’t have to be physical to be serious. Patterns, repetition, and how the conduct affects your work environment all matter.
If something about your situation feels wrong or has changed how you’re treated at work, it may be worth having it reviewed.
How Sexual Harassment Is Proven and How We Help
Sexual harassment cases often involve patterns of behavior, timing, and credibility. Employers may deny or minimize what happened, which makes documentation and context important.
Evidence may include messages, emails, internal complaints, witness accounts, or changes in how you were treated after setting boundaries or reporting the issue.
We help by reviewing your situation, identifying key details, and organizing the information needed to understand what happened and what options are available under California law.
You don’t need to handle this on your own—we help you take the next step with clarity and discretion.
What Moving Forward Can Look Like
Sexual harassment at work can affect more than just your job. It can change how you feel day-to-day, your sense of stability, and your ability to move forward comfortably in your workplace.
In some cases, taking action can lead to compensation for lost income, changes in employment, and the broader impact the situation has had on your life. It can also help address what happened and prevent it from continuing.
Many people hesitate to take the next step because they’re unsure what qualifies or whether they’ll be taken seriously.
We offer confidential consultations so you can talk through your situation, ask questions, and understand your options without pressure.
Writing a will that truly reflects your wishes
Clear, customized guidance from experienced attorneys
A will is one of the most important legal documents you’ll ever create. It ensures your property is distributed according to your choices, not left to state laws or court discretion. At Parker & Maloney, we help individuals and families across multiple states prepare valid, thoughtful wills that bring clarity and peace of mind. Whether your estate is modest or complex, our attorneys make the process straightforward, transparent, and designed around your specific goals.
Why every adult needs a will
Protecting your family starts with preparation
Many people assume wills are only for those with large estates, but they’re essential for anyone who wants a say in how their affairs are handled. A well-drafted will outlines who inherits your assets, who manages your estate, and who cares for your minor children. Without one, state law decides those matters for you, often in ways that don’t reflect your wishes. Our attorneys help you anticipate potential issues, minimize conflict, and leave a clear plan that makes things easier for your loved ones.
