Wrongful Termination – Harassment Settlement #1

Our client was unlawfully terminated from her job in Los Angeles, California, after she formally complained about sexual harassment in the workplace. Rather than investigating and addressing her complaints as required under California employment law, her employer retaliated by firing her – one of the most egregious forms of workplace retaliation.

Sexual harassment and retaliatory termination are serious violations of the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. Employees who report harassment are legally protected from retaliation, and employers who punish workers for speaking up face significant legal liability. Our client bravely came forward despite the professional and personal risks, and Feher Law was committed to making sure her courage was met with justice.

Through aggressive litigation in Los Angeles, we secured a $4,000,000 settlement – holding the employer accountable for the hostile work environment they permitted and the retaliation they carried out. This result provided our client with meaningful financial recovery and sends a clear message that workplace harassment and retaliation will not go unanswered.
