Our San Jose Sexual Harassment Lawyer  Helps You Get Justice

The California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) is one of several state laws that protect the rights of San Jose workers. Under FEHA, sexual harassment is defined as unwelcome behavior, sexual in nature, which creates a hostile, offensive, or intimidating work environment. According to FEHA, sexual harassment can happen in various ways, including:

  • Offensive comments, sexual ‘jokes,’ and degrading language
  • Displaying or distributing inappropriate images, videos, or other communications in the workplace
  • Unsolicited physical contact, such as touching, groping, or invading personal space
  • Quid pro quo harassment, which is when a boss or supervisor demands sexual favors from you in exchange for promotions, raises, or job security

Under California law, you can hold employers responsible for not maintaining a harassment-free workplace, even if non-employees, such as customers or vendors, carry out the harassment.

At Venardi Zurada, LLP, our experienced San Jose sexual harassment lawyer helps you get justice and the compensation you need to recover in a claim.

Employment

Martin Zurada led a case for two disadvantaged and frequently houseless immigrants who were cheated and abused by an unscrupulous motel owner in Oakland. Both were cheated out of their wages for the hard work they had been putting in at the motel. Worse yet, our female client was repeatedly sexually harassed and assaulted by the motel owner. The motel owner knew that our female client was in need of the income from her motel job to obtain stable housing and regain custody of her children. He never imagined that these powerless people would fight back or find a law firm that would believe in them and would fight for their rights. We fought numerous motions and other delay tactics to get to trial. The highest offer we ever got was “$5,000” for both of our clients. We were told that our clients had a “nuisance” lawsuit that was worth nothing. We couldn’t wait for years for a jury trial in Alameda County, so we agreed to bring the case before a judge to speed up the wheels of justice. After a five-day trial led by Martin Zurada, we obtained a judgment for over $800,000 for our clients, and then we augmented it with an award of over $750,000 in attorney’s fees and costs. We then aggressively pursued collection, and, within six months of the trial, we forced the sale of the motel where all of the wrongdoing happened which resulted in our clients and our firm obtaining full money justice.
