New York Employment Lawyer Blog

As an employment attorney in New York, I often meet with prospective clients who come to my office regarding potential cases involving sexual harassment against their employer. Very often, much to my dismay, after having the prospective client tell me their unfortunate story, I ask them whether they ever complained to Human Resources, their superior, their manager or anyone else, about the conditions they have been subjected to. Most times the prospective clients tell me they NEVER told anyone, let alone a superior, about the conditions at work. To be successful in a sexual harassment case against an employer in New York, it is imperative that the plaintiff has some record that shows he or she complained about the harassment to a superior and that nothing was done to fix the issue.
