You Only Pay If We Win

We work on a contingency-fee basis, which means there are no upfront costs to get started with an employment lawyer. If Mr. Atkerson doesn't recover compensation on your behalf, you owe nothing for his time.

Act Quickly With a Lawyer’s Help You May Have Just 300 Days to File a Sexual Harassment Claim in Texas

In most Texas workplace sexual harassment cases, employees have up to 300 days from the date of the incident to file a charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). This window can be even shorter (just 180 days) in certain situations, especially if your employer isn't covered by state or local laws due to company size or type.

These deadlines are strictly enforced, so waiting too long could prevent you from taking legal action and getting the justice you deserve. If you believe you’ve been the victim of sexual harassment at work, it’s in your best interest to speak with an employment attorney as soon as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions For Our Sexual Harassment Lawyer in Allen, TX

Does my employer have to know the harassment happened?

If your employer didn’t know about the harassment, they may not be automatically considered liable unless the person who harassed you was a supervisor. You should submit a written report of the behavior to HR or management. If they fail to take appropriate action, they can be held responsible.

Will I be fired if I speak up?

It’s illegal for your employer to retaliate against you for reporting harassment. If you were demoted, fired, or punished after making a complaint, it’s considered retaliation, and you may have a separate legal claim to explore with Mr. Atkerson.

Can I still sue if I wasn’t fired or demoted?

Yes. Even if your job status hasn’t changed, it's still unlawful for your employer to maintain a discriminatory or sexually hostile work environment. You may be entitled to damages for emotional distress, mental anguish, or being denied equal treatment.

What if the person harassing me doesn't work for my company?

If a client, vendor, or contractor is sexually harassing you and your employer doesn’t act to protect you, they can still be considered liable. Texas employers must provide a safe work environment and step in when harassment occurs, even from third parties.
