Denver Harassment Attorney Protecting Your Dignity At Work

Disagreements and professional frictions on certain job duties are common at work. However, when there is unwelcome behavior based on your race, gender, age, religion or disability, it is no longer office conflict – it is workplace harassment. Under certain circumstances, this offensive conduct can create a hostile work environment that makes it difficult to perform your job. If your workplace has become a source of anxiety, you should not have to face it alone.

At The Halliburton Law Firm, LLC, attorney Samantha Pryor is here to support you. Working with an experienced harassment attorney means you have an advocate to handle the legal details and hold your employer accountable. Ms. Pryor will fight to make sure you receive the compensation and respect you deserve.

Common Types Of Workplace Harassment

Harassment can look different in every office, shop or boardroom. Whether it is subtle or obvious, it is never okay. The Halliburton Law Firm, LLC, helps Colorado workers facing various forms of protected class harassment, including:

  • Sexual harassment: Quid pro quo harassment where managers demand sexual favors for promotions, or unwanted advances that continue even after you say no
  • Verbal harassment: Slurs, inappropriate jokes or hostile messages that target who you are
  • Psychological harassment: Being isolated from your team or facing harmful stereotypes
  • Physical threats and bullying: Threats that make you fear for your safety or your job security

Both state and federal laws require employers to keep their workplaces safe. If the management knows about the abuse and does nothing to stop it, they can be held responsible for the harm you have suffered.

How To Build Your Harassment Case

Taking the right steps early can make a big difference in your case. Meeting the legal burden of proof is important to show what is exactly happening.

When you suspect workplace harassment, following a systematic approach can help you build a strong case:

  • Keep your own harassment documentation, and save them somewhere other than a work computer.
  • File a formal harassment complaint through your HR to show you tried to solve the issue.
  • If the company ignores the problem, the firm will guide you through the EEOC filing process to secure a right-to-sue letter.
  • Your advocate will launch a formal harassment lawsuit settlement demand. This allows you to seek comprehensive harassment damages, including back pay and emotional distress awards.
  • The firm will seek additional compensation for wrongful termination harassment if the company fires you for speaking up.

With these steps, you give your harassment attorney the advantage to secure a favorable outcome.

What If My Employer Retaliates?

It is illegal for an employer to punish you for reporting harassment. If your employer cuts your hours, demotes you or fires you after you report abuse, they are engaging in illegal retaliatory harassment. As a skilled harassment lawyer, Ms. Pryor will work aggressively to hold them accountable for this additional unlawful treatment.
