Workplace Harassment Lawyer in Glendale, Burbank, and Pasadena

Standing Up for Employees Facing Harassment Across California

Every employee has the right to work in an environment free from harassment and abuse. Workplace harassment is not only unacceptable — it is against the law when it is based on a protected characteristic under California or federal law. If you are facing harassment at work in Glendale, Burbank, Pasadena, or anywhere in California, Tapanian Law, APC is ready to protect your rights and fight for the justice you deserve.

What Counts as Workplace Harassment

Harassment becomes illegal when it targets an employee based on a protected characteristic, such as:

• Race or ethnicity

• Gender or gender identity

• Sexual orientation

• Pregnancy or parental status

• Disability or medical condition

• Age (40 or older)

• Religion

• National origin

This harassment may come from supervisors, coworkers, or even clients and customers, and employers have a legal duty to stop it once they are aware.

Examples of Harassment at Work

Workplace harassment can take many forms, including:

• Offensive jokes, slurs, or comments

• Unwanted touching or physical contact

• Displaying or sharing offensive images

• Persistent unwelcome advances

• Verbal abuse or intimidation

• Sabotaging work performance

When harassment creates a hostile work environment or leads to adverse employment actions, legal remedies may be available.

What You May Recover in a Harassment Claim

Victims of workplace harassment may be entitled to:

• Compensation for emotional distress

• Lost wages and benefits

• Punitive damages for severe misconduct

• Attorney’s fees and legal costs
