The #MeToo movement, which went viral in October 2017, brought the issue to the forefront — thousands of individuals shared their stories and helped define what legally constitutes sexual harassment. Even so, you should never rely solely on news coverage or articles you find online. The right first step is to speak with a sexual harassment lawyer who can evaluate your specific situation before you decide how to proceed.
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 makes it illegal to harass another person because of their sex, race, color, national origin, or religion. Sexual harassment covers a broad range of conduct — from a hostile work environment created by offensive comments or behavior, to unwanted physical contact. While not all sexual harassment is criminal, it can quickly cross the line to sexual assault through unwanted touching, coercion, or physical intimidation.

A sexual harassment lawyer at The Berman Law Group can guide you through every step. First, they will determine whether your experience qualifies as sexual harassment under state and federal law. You can consult an attorney before filing any complaint or speaking to anyone at your company — in fact, your attorney may recommend the best person at your organization to report the incident to, based on your specific circumstances.
Your attorney will also instruct you on the steps to take to protect yourself, the proper legal process to follow, and can provide a structured framework to keep you focused when filing a formal complaint at your workplace.
If the attorneys at The Berman Law Group determine you have a viable case, they will likely accept it on a contingent fee basis — receiving a percentage of the net recovery. Some sexual harassment lawyers require a retainer to cover out-of-pocket costs, while others wait to be reimbursed from your recovery proceeds.
Sexual harassment laws can be complicated, and there is no downside to consulting an attorney and receiving a professional opinion on your situation.
