How We Handle Hostile Work Environment Cases

1

Free Case Review

We evaluate severity, pervasiveness, who knew, and the employer's response.

2

Preserve Evidence

We help document incidents, witnesses, and communications while claims are preserved with the EEOC or DFEH.

3

Litigate & Recover

We pursue back pay, emotional distress, punitive damages, and attorney's fees.

What You Can Recover

Hostile work environment plaintiffs can recover emotional distress damages, back and front pay, punitive damages, and attorney's fees — paid by the employer. We work on contingency; you pay nothing unless we win.

  • Emotional distress and compensatory damages
  • Back pay and front pay if you were forced out
  • Punitive damages against malicious employers
  • Attorney's fees paid by the defendant
  • Injunctive relief — policy changes and training
