Charleston Sexual Harassment Attorneys
West Virginia Wrongful Termination Lawyers
The law recognizes inappropriate touching of any kind, as well as verbal or written communications of a sexual nature, to be grounds for a sexual harassment lawsuit. Repeated intimidation or suggestive remarks create a hostile work environment that clearly violates the vast majority of workplace policies concerning employee behavior.
The Charleston sexual harassment attorneys at The Bell Law Firm, PLLC, take immediate legal action to collect pertinent e-mails, memos, voice messages, publicly posted pictures or circulated crude jokes when building our clients' cases. By interviewing other employees and subpoenaing human resources records, we identify patterns of sexual harassment.

I Don't Know What to Do. How Can I Prove Anything?
If you are subjected to repeated sexual harassment or constant sexual innuendos, you know that it is necessary to report it. However, the security of a well-paid job or the promise of a promotion can make it difficult to build up the nerve to speak out. Sometimes, you don't even want to tell your family, knowing that you may need to make a choice between a promising career and protecting your rights.
At The Bell Law Firm, PLLC, we are experienced in protecting employees in sexual harassment cases. We understand your situation and concerns. Our employee rights lawyers will work closely with you in a confidential manner, advising you on your legal options and giving you the support you need to stand up against the injustice at work.
When reporting sexual harassment or workplace discrimination, evidence is crucial to the success of your case. You should keep records of the following items:
- Inappropriate e-mails
- Lewd posters or circulated jokes
- Your company's policy on sexual harassment
- Recorded phone messages of a sexual or suggestive nature
- Harassing notes or pictures left in the workplace or on your desk
- Sexual references
- Crude language and behavior
- Requests for sexual favors
Standing Up for Your Rights
As soon as we file a case against your employer, we put it on notice it is being watched and investigated. If you are wrongfully terminated or are subjected to intimidation or abuse, we will aggressively pursue damages for these injustices as well. Working with our own investigators and expert witnesses, our sexual harassment attorneys uncover evidence and expose sexual harassment. We wouldn't tolerate it in a case involving our own family, and we refuse to tolerate it in the case of someone else.
Sending a Message
It is important to remember victims of sexual harassment are mothers, daughters, wives, husbands, and sons to people within our own communities. Exposing predatory sexual behavior restores dignity and maintains a level of respect a well-ordered society is founded on.
