California Sexual Harassment Law Firm
If you need a sexual harassment attorney in California, the Law Offices of Richard deSaulles can help. We are dedicated to providing top quality legal representation for men or women who have suffered from workplace sexual harassment, discrimination in the workplace and other wrongful employment practices.
Sexual harassment in the workplace happens every day in California and can make the work environment a very uncomfortable place for innocent men and women alike. Although most sexual harassment cases deal with men harassing female employees, over 10 percent of sexual harassment charges are brought about by males, so sexual harassment in the workplace is common for both men and women.
What is sexual harassment?
According to the EEOC, sexual harassment is defined as:
"Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature constitutes sexual harassment when submission to or rejection of this conduct explicitly or implicitly affects an individual's employment, unreasonably interferes with an individual's work performance or creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment."
Examples of sexual harassment in the workplace may include:
- A supervisor suggesting to an employee that her or she must sleep with him or her to keep their job;
- An employee displaying sexually explicit photos to a co-worker, making that co-worker feel uncomfortable;
- An employee is made to feel uncomfortable by fellow employees who regularly tell sexually explicit jokes;
- An employee is grabbed and/or fondled against their will by a coworker;
- An employee is belittled and/or referred to by sexist or demeaning terms by co-workers; or
- An employee sends off-color emails to co-workers that contain sexually explicit language and/or pictures.
The examples above are some of the most common illegal workplace practices involving sexual harassment but there are many others that occur.

What if I Cannot Afford To Hire An Attorney?
Most of our clients do not have the thousands of dollars needed to retain an attorney and litigate their case. The Law Offices of Richard deSaulles regularly takes cases on a contingency basis. For cases taken on a contingency basis, this means:
- You do not have to pay anything to hire our firm to represent you;
- Our contingency fee is based on a reasonable percentage of the amount we obtain for you;
- We will never settle your case without your authorization; and
- If there is no recovery in your case, you do not owe us a fee.
For those clients who prefer to pay an hourly rate, our firm is happy to discuss such an arrangement. Either way, we will make sure that the terms of the representation are agreed upon before initiating representation.
