FREE ADVICE: Do not be afraid to stand up for yourself and your rights. Too often women and men suffer in silence when confronted with harassing, discriminatory or retaliatory behavior at work. Many times workplace problems can be resolved with the help of experienced counsel and without resorting to litigation. If you feel you are being harassed, discriminated against, or retaliated against, seek counsel before you complain or object to your employer. Learning about the best way to articulate an objection may be the difference between a successful outcome of a work dispute and one that is less desirable.
