MIKA HILAIRE: Women undoubtedly face unique issues in the workplace, which in turn means there are certain areas where women need their rights protected. We counsel women in all areas. This could include pregnancy leaves, a workplace equality, which could be getting the raise you deserve or pay increases, also leaves of absences. Women are often the caretakers and have to take off time to take care of ill family members. And sexual harassment, sexual harassment tends to be something that affects women more in the workplace. And again you're dealing with equality issues.
I'm very passionate about women, women rights in the workplace and all issues that surround women. I'm a mother. I'm a wife. And I am a female attorney in a male dominated field. And I think it's important that women have the voice to assert themselves in the workplace.
In a lot of the areas that we deal with there are some very sensitive issues. And I think that most people really find that after they talk with me I'm very empathetic to what they may have gone through.
I am only a mouthpiece for my client, but my client is the case. My client is the one that live it and breathed it and so we have to have a level of commitment on both sides in order to get the best result.
If there are any issues in a workplace, a woman should contact and attorney. There's no harm in finding out what your rights are and whether or not there are things that you can be doing to protect yourself in the workplace.
