What Can Our Utah Sexual Harassment Lawyers Do For You

Our approach to sexual harassment cases is similar to our approach to employment discrimination,workplace retaliation and wage and hour violations cases - We prepare every case as if it's going to trial. In preparing your case, we do the following things:

Consultation: The first and most important thing we do is listen. When we learn about your situation, we will consult with you regarding your options and help determine which course of action might be best for you. We don't take over your case. We decide what your interest are and fight to protect those interests in the manner you want.

Investigation and Preparation: We investigate your claims, review available documents, and contact witnesses who may have information to support your claims. At every step, our sexual harassment attorney in Utah involve you in this process to ensure that evidence is preserved and that information is gathered to support your claims or defenses.

Settlement: Where appropriate, we seek to resolve your claim at an early stage. In doing this, we may write a letter to the other party, explaining the situation and making either a demand for a fair and appropriate settlement if you are the employee or a reasonable offer for settlement if you are the employer. We attempt to sit down with the other side an explore mutual areas of agreement, so that litigation can be avoided if possible.

Negotiation: At this stage, we can often find a way to settle the case favorably for you, avoiding the cost, time, and stress of the courtroom. In most situations, a negotiated settlement will produce a happier resolution for everyone and avoid the ugliness of a court trial. It also puts the decision in your hands, not in the hand of a neutral third-party or jury.

Trial Preparation and Trial: If an agreement cannot be negotiated, we will litigate and take the case all the way through trial. We have the experience and skill to strongly advocate for you in the courtroom and pursue the outcome you deserve. Stavros sexual harassment lawyers in Utah regularly take cases involving sexual harassment to trial, and will work aggressively and tirelessly to protect your interests.
