Atlanta On-The-Job Harassment Lawyer

It has been nearly 50 years since the federal government enacted a law that made it illegal for employers to discriminate based on certain traits — race, color, religion, sex or national origin. Over that time, the law has evolved to include harassment.

Sexual harassment is a form of employment discrimination. The laws and cases describing what constitutes harassment are constantly changing and being interpreted by courts. This means it is important to consult an attorney who has experience in employment law matters to determine if your situation meets the standard.

J. Taylor & Associates, LLC, is an Atlanta-based law firm focusing on employment law cases. The firm represents individual employees exclusively, throughout the greater Atlanta and north Georgia areas. The firm protects the rights of all individuals, including private, federal and government employees.

Sexual harassment includes unwelcome sexual actions, both verbal and physical. Generally, there are two types:

  • Quid pro quo — "This for that." In quid pro quo harassment, the victim must accept the behavior to obtain some benefit or avoid a consequence.

  • Hostile work environment — This type of harassment involves unwelcome behavior that creates an atmosphere at work resulting in interference with job performance.

Sexual harassment at work is illegal. If you believe you are the victim of sexual harassment, attorney J. Taylor can assist. The firm will represent your interests in pursuing damages for emotional or physical pain and suffering. Atlanta on-the-job harassment attorney J. Taylor provides clients with experienced counsel gained from more than 15 years in practice. Her background includes a former position representing union employees in sexual harassment and other discrimination claims.
