Case Study 

Morgan & Morgan represented a woman who, after attempting to report a sexual harassment incident at their workplace, was retaliated against by their employer. Not only did they marginalize her complaints, but they utilized tactics of intimidation, wrote her up for disciplinary action, and created a hostile work environment in an attempt to silence the client’s experience. Realizing that negotiation wasn't possible, she turned to a firm she could trust to assist her in one of the most traumatic moments of her life. Our attorneys worked with her case and successfully reached a $500,000 settlement for compensatory and punitive damages, finding that the company acted with “malice and reckless disregard” for the client’s rights.
