LOS ANGELES SEXUAL HARASSMENT ATTORNEY WORKS LATE

Mediation in Los Angeles

We go to all measures to get the best case results for victims of sexual harassment. If we have to mediate the case past sundown that is just fine. If we have to try the case in court that is something we just might be itching to do. Damages due to sexual harassment must be taken seriously. Sexual harassment affects different people in different ways. Some women suffer PTSD due to incidents the employer claims are mild such as hugging. To trap a coworker, or subordinate, for unwelcome hugs is tiresome, and violatory. It is our job to make the jury understand how this made the victim feel. We understand just how impossible it is to go to a work environment in which the employee never knows when their body will be the object of physical or verbal sexual harassment. Our legal representation might include how to quit and sue if you are being sexually harassed.

Downtown Los Angeles at night from the 63rd Floor. Serious sexual harassment lawyers work past sundown at mediation. Tomorrow I am off to Bakersfield for a controlled-stand-by pay lawsuit. Last night I broadcast the Karl Gerber, Workplace Lawyer Show from KABC AM 790 in Culver City. Saturday I poured 12 yards of concrete and led a construction crew of three. You find another labor lawyer who works it like this

SEXUAL HARASSMENT LAWYER KARL GERBER INTERVIEWED BY NEW YORK MAGAZINE

Today New York Magazine interviewed me about the Harvey Weinstein sexual harassment situation. Some of the things we discussed were potential criminal prosecution for sexual harassment, and when sexual harassment constitutes sexual battery. We also discussed how sexual harassment and workplace rape is different than sexual abuse outside of the workplace because the victim has had or must have continuing business dealings with the harasser.

The reporter was impressed that I had handled more than 600 sexual harassment cases over the last near quarter of a century.

Enlarge, and straight ahead to the right you can see the Hollywood sign. Sorry, but the iPhone 7 takes terrible pictures. If I still used my Blackberry this picture would be clear and text would be readable. The iPhone is a joke. Can't even believe the hype. For those of us who do real business the iPhone 7 is a toy. [wow, this is a blast from the past]

At any rate, taken from a sexual harassment mediation today.

Legal matters for large unpaid wages or serious sexual harassment are as daunting to an employee as trying to climb these stairs on crutches.

My experienced staff of California employee lawyers have seen it all (or almost everything). Call us at (323) 525-1600 if you were fired unlawfully, are owed a large amount of wages, or have been subjected to severe or pervasive harassment of work.

View of downtown Los Angeles from an employee deposition on a sexual harassment lawsuit. When the victim of sexual harassment is questioned you better believe we are there defending them. If the wrong question is asked we will jump on the objection. If the deposition is too long we will do something about it.

An electronically enhanced view of the downtown Los Angeles library and other buildings from JAMS where I mediated a supermarket sexual harassment lawsuit today. Mediation settles a lot of the sexual harassment lawsuits. Sometimes settlements are for more than the case might be worth if the client tries the case in court. The employer has to pay the employee's attorney fees if they lose. Due to our extensive experience representing employees in sexual harassment lawsuits, the attorney fees we might be awarded are often strong motivations for the employer to settle. If the case settles, all the money goes into one pot. If the case is tried, the awarded attorney fees are the sole property of the lawyer.

The halls of the professional workplace. Actually, a hallway at my downtown Los Angeles office.

Personally, as a sexual harassment lawyer I would have built wider hallways to avoid the spectre of one co-worker claiming he bumped into another co-worker by accident while she claimed it was sexually harassment. Unfortunately that is a familiar fact pattern in a lot of sexual harassment cases.

DOCUMENTING SEXUAL HARASSMENT IF YOU ARE STILL EMPLOYED

If there are any potential employees reading this, or anybody who might themselves get sexually harassed or know somebody who might, here is my 2 cents of advice on what to do in the event of sexual harassment in the workplace. These are some of the basics about documenting sexual harassment. Save all text messages with the harasser. Save all evidence showing you have complained. When you complain, be specific. Do not omit details of the sexual harassment that are embarassing. If there is severe sexual harassment be sure to mention those incidents. Do not put your sexual harassment complaint in the middle, or near the end of a laundry list of grievances about working for the company.

If you do all of this, you might still need a top sexual harassment lawyer like myself (LOL) because employment defense lawyers never stop looking for ways to criticize what the sexual harassment victim did or did not do.

JURIES DECIDE SEXUAL HARASSMENT LAWSUIT

The people in these 12 chairs decide your case in California state court. They are called, "The jury." There might be an alternate or three, but they don't step in unless one of the twelve is excused by the judge.

For my client and I today was a decent day in Los Angeles Superior Court, Central where we have a wrongful termination/sexual harassment retaliation case.

Well folks, these were the good old days before the Pandemic. Lawyers drove around town representing clients. A lot of depositions are still virtual although it seems there are is a higher likelihoood of the deposition being in person if it is a sexual harassment case. Jury trials are back to being in person. Mediations, not so much. We have to fight for arbitrations to be in person, but have spent 30 days in one as of late. We are still here after almost 32 years representing employees. They say the strong businesses survive. Call us and get a law firm that isn't a fly-by night. We are here for you, and your next generation. In fact, a couple of years ago we represented a niece in a sexual harassment case. Her aunt was our client in the 1990s.
