Employment Law

Your NJ Sexual Harassment and Hostile Work Environment Team

No one wants to believe they will become a victim of sexual harassment. Unfortunately, in New Jersey, sexual harassment is more common than we would like to think. At Burns, LeBrocq, Wolfe and Associates, we are experienced New Jersey sexual harassment attorneys.

There are two major categories of New Jersey sexual harassment, Quid pro quo sexual harassment, where the employer conditions decisions on satisfaction of a sexual demand; and hostile-work environment sexual harassment, in which an employer subjects an employee in his/her work environment to unwelcome verbal or physical sexual behavior, or other abusive behavior directed disproportionately against women, that is either severe or pervasive. If you have been harassed, you should get legal help. Please contact us right away for guidance.
