Legal Issues Faced by Women in the Workplace

California Women's Rights Attorneys

Women in the workplace have made great progress. However, despite the rising number of women in the workplace and laws protecting equality, women still face certain hurdles. For example, women are subjected to sexual harassment in the workplace far more often than men. For another example, as primary care givers of our children and families, women are called upon to take time off of work to care for family members more often than their male counterparts.

At Appell | Hilaire | Benardo LLP we are sensitive to the unique legal issues faced by women in the workplace. We represent women in all types of employment cases including:

  • Sexual Harassment
  • Gender Discrimination
  • Pregnancy Discrimination
  • Family and Medical Leave
  • Disability Discrimination
  • Equal Pay
  • Overtime Pay

Behind our doors you will find caring and empathetic attorneys that are here to counsel and assist women in employment law matters. We go out of our way to make you feel comfortable so that the lines of communication between attorney and client are completely open.

Passionate and Aggressive Representation

We are strong advocates for female employees in the workplace. We understand that going against an employer can seem daunting and overwhelming. We believe strongly in the empowerment of women and giving women a voice to speak up against unfair treatment in the workplace.

If you have been discriminated against, sexually harassed or otherwise treated unfairly because of your gender, we can help.
