Hostile Work Environment

Skilled Employee Rights Attorneys

The work environment should not be intimidating, hostile or offensive. When the work environment is hostile because of an employee's sex, gender, race, age, sexual orientation, or disability though,- it's illegal.

At Deutsch Atkins P.C., our employment law attorneys protect the rights and interests of employees who have suffered harassment and discrimination in the workplace. If you have been subjected to a persistent atmosphere of unwelcome conduct in your workplace, come to our offices to discuss your potential legal claims for a hostile work environment.

Protecting Your Rights, Maximizing Your Compensation

Our founding partners have more than 50 years of combined legal experience representing the victims of employment discrimination and harassment. Working with our associates, we have obtained millions of dollars for thousands of employees whose rights have been violated. We have extensive experience representing employees at all levels, including senior management and senior level executives.

When you bring your legal concerns to our law offices, we will attempt to maximize your compensation. Frequently, our clients are people who have found themselves unable to continue working because the work environment was so hostile, intimidating and offensive. We represent people who have been subject to unwelcome sexual advances by their supervisors or who have faced constant discriminatory comments tolerated by their managers.

Generally to support a legal claim for a hostile work environment, the offensive conduct must be sufficiently severe or pervasive to make someone in a protected group believe that the atmosphere in the work environment was hostile or abusive. Although a single vulgar racial or sexist epithet may give an employee a "hostile" work environment claim, most of the time the comments or conduct must be "pervasive."
