Sexual Harassment
McAllen, Texas, Sexual Harassment Lawyer
Serving South Texas and the Rio Grande Valley
Sexual harassment in the workplace can take many forms. It can be as direct as a boss who demands sex in exchange for a promotion. Sexual harassment can also be a work environment where female employees are exposed to degrading experiences such as vulgar jokes or nude pictures.
In Texas, no one has to put up with sexual harassment in the workplace. If you feel that you are a victim of degrading experiences at your job, call the Law Office of Ricardo R. Godinez, P.C. in McAllen, Texas, for a free and confidential case evaluation. You may be entitled to compensation for back pay, front pay, mental anguish and punitive damages.
There are two main types of sexual harassment:
- Unwanted sexual advances. This may consist of your boss promising you a promotion in exchange for sex or threatening to demote or fire you unless you provide sexual favors.
- Hostile work environment. A hostile work environment can consist of offensive comments, offensive picture or gestures, or offensive physical behavior such as touching.
A one-time incident may not qualify as sexual harassment. However, if the behavior is repeated after you object, or if your employer retaliates against you for raising a sexual harassment complaint, you should contact a lawyer for advice.
Attorney Ricardo Godinez is a former McAllen city commissioner who has recovered millions of dollars in compensation for his clients in South Texas and the Rio Grande Valley.
