Our Bronx sexual harassment attorneys represent clients who are victimized in many different settings, including:
- Work (including harassment and hostile work environment);

- Schools or daycare facilities;
- Nursing homes and other residential care facilities;
- Hospitals and other healthcare facilities;
- Camps;
- Cruise ships;
- Sports leagues;

- Military facilities.
Our New York City law firm also represents business professionals and employees who faced wrongful termination or other retribution as a result of reporting a sexual harassment incident. There are also laws in place to help victims of sex crimes and sexual assault, which can occur in cases where verbal harassment progresses to touching or assault.
Our sexual harassment lawyers represent clients throughout NYC and the surrounding region, including the Bronx, Queens, Staten Island, Long Island, Manhattan, Brooklyn, and beyond. To contact the Law Offices of Thomas J. Lavin, call 718-829-7400 or toll-free at 800-394-4216.
What Is Sexual Misconduct?
Specifically, sexual harassment includes unwanted sexual advances; offering employment or benefits in exchange for sexual favors; leering; making sexual gestures; displaying suggestive objects, pictures, cartoons, or posters; making or using derogatory comments, epithets, slurs, or jokes; degrading language used to describe an individual; suggestive or obscene letters, notes, emails, or invitations; physical touching or assault, including impeding or blocking the victim’s movement around the workplace.
Sexual harassment also includes derogatory statements about your gender or your sexual preference. It also includes “peeping” and all forms of sexual battery.
Get the Justice You Deserve
Sexual misconduct may happen at any time to any individual, regardless of age, race, gender, or carnal preference. For three decades, our experienced Bronx sexual harassment attorneys have prevailed in carnal misconduct cases through hard work and an unshakeable commitment to our clients. We never charge a client until you receive the compensation you deserve. But you must take action soon because the law limits the timeframe for filing claims.
