Sexual Harassment Attorneys in Santa Monica
Worker-Only Representation. We Know How Employers Build Their Defense.
When you're dealing with sexual harassment at work, the employer's response matters as much as the conduct itself — companies move quickly to document their version of events and build a defense. At Laurel Employment Law, our founder spent years as a corporate executive before becoming an employee-side attorney, and that background shapes how we investigate and build cases for workers.
We represent workers exclusively, never employers. Every case is handled on a contingency fee basis — you pay nothing unless we win — and consultations are free. Bilingual services in English and Spanish are available.

Your Rights and Next Steps
Protecting Yourself — and Your Case
California's FEHA applies to all employers regardless of size and protects employees, applicants, interns, volunteers, and independent contractors alike. It also prohibits retaliation — your employer can't demote you, cut your hours, or fire you for reporting harassment or participating in an investigation. Under FEHA as extended by AB 9, you generally have three years from the most recent incident to file a complaint with the CRD, and one year after receiving a right-to-sue letter to file a civil lawsuit.
If you're experiencing harassment, take these steps early:
- Document everything — dates, times, locations, and witnesses
- Report it through your employer's HR or reporting process
- Preserve communications — emails, texts, and other records
- Consult an attorney promptly, before deadlines or evidence issues arise
- File with the CRD if internal reporting doesn't resolve the issue
Workers who pursue a claim may be able to recover lost wages, emotional distress damages, medical expenses, and in some cases punitive damages and attorney fees.
Don't wait to protect your rights. Call (310) 929-6371 today for your free consultation with a Santa Monica attorney.
