A cat call on the street can be irritating. Sexual harassment at work creates a hostile work environment that can impact every aspect of a person's life. At The Law Office of Mallon and Tranger, in New Jersey, we are committed to representing people who have been victims of sexual harassment.

What is Sexual Harassment?

While there are a wide range of actions that can be considered sexual harassment, it typically involves two types of actions:

• Quid pro quo sexual harassment - This involves unwelcome sexual advances where the consequences of rejection implicitly or explicitly impacts an individual's employment or advancement opportunities.
• Hostile work environment - This includes any verbal or physical actions that create a threatening or offensive work environment.

Sexual harassment can involve a wide range of unwelcome actions from offering employment for sex and graphic comments about someone's body to physical contact of a sexual nature and targeting a person for special treatment based on their sex. The most common type of sexual harassment involves a male harassing a female. However, incidents of women harassing men and same sex harassment are increasing.

Regardless of whether the harasser is a man or a woman, our firm is committed to ensuring that our clients are justly compensated for the financial and emotional losses resulting from their harassment. In all most all cases, we seek compensation for current and future lost wages, emotional distress and punitive damages.
