Redondo Beach Sexual Harassment Lawyer
Sexual harassment has long been a major problem in many California workplaces. Yet despite the numerous high-profile cases exposing the damage that such harassment does to its victims, many employers still do not take this issue seriously. Sexual harassment continues to be not only tolerated but dismissed as “no big deal.”
But it is a big deal. Every worker in Los Angeles County has the right to work in a safe workplace that is free of harassment based on their sex or gender. If your employer does not see it that way, then a qualified sexual harassment lawyer in Redondo Beach can help you in asserting your legal rights. At Litigation, P.C., we represent individual victims of workplace harassment and assist them in seeking compensation and other relief against employers who do not take their legal obligations seriously.

Have You Been the Target of Severe or Pervasive Harassment in the Workplace Based on Your Sex?
California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) and its federal counterpart, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, both prohibit discrimination in employment based on sex. Over the years, it has become well established that discrimination includes both “quid pro quo” acts–e.g., demanding sexual favors for favorable treatment at work–but also creating or tolerating a “hostile work environment” based on a culture of sexual harassment.
Sexual harassment in the workplace is basically any scenario where an employee receives unwelcome advances or conduct that is somehow based on their sex. If this unwelcome conduct is “severe” or “pervasive” to the point where it alters the conditions of employment, then it is considered sexual harassment. So while a stray sexist joke would probably not qualify as harassment under the law, a supervisor who has a history of making demeaning remarks toward female employees would likely meet the “severe” or “pervasive” standard.
Indeed, even when sexual harassment may specifically target one employee, it may lead to the creation of a hostile work environment for others. To give a simple hypothetical example, if a supervisor demands sexual favors from an employee in exchange for a raise, that can create a hostile work environment for the other female employees in that same office.
Sexual harassment is also not limited to supervisors. If a person is targeted for sex-based harassment by co-workers, independent contractors, or even customers or clients, the employer may still be held legally responsible if they knew about the misconduct yet failed to take any action to protect the employee.

“I had the pleasure of working with Attorney Hee and his team on an employment matter, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. From the very beginning, Hee demonstrated a deep understanding of employment law and provided clear, strategic guidance tailored to my situation.
Throughout the process, Hee and his team were not only professional and knowledgeable but also approachable and genuinely invested in my case. Their responsiveness and attention to detail gave me confidence and peace of mind during what could have been a stressful time.
I highly recommend Attorney Hee to anyone in need of legal assistance. If my friends or family ever require legal support, I wouldn’t hesitate to refer them to Hee and his team. Their expertise, dedication, and client-focused approach truly set them apart.”

“I recently worked with Hee Kim to review an employment contract as I wanted a set of expert eyes on it. Hee was able to explain everything I had concerns about and was helpful in providing me comfort that I would receive what I expected. I would recommend working with him to anyone that needs an employment law professional.”

“Litigation, P.C. Law Firm represented me and they did a great job. Hee Kim did an awesome job making me feel cared for and he really listened to me. There were some mishaps on my end but they gave me all the tools I needed to find and present all my information needed for my case.
I had a great outcome and I was never judged by the firm which made me feel very comfortable. Mr. Kim was very friendly and made me feel right at home and taken care of.
I never had to the office and meet them and did everything online through Zoom and messaging when it was convenient for me.
I really recommend working with Hee Kim because he fought hard for me and after the case was closed I feel the best decisions were done and I believe having a piece of mind is the best thing for any client wanting to reach a just decision in their case.”

“This was the best email I sent when I was distressed and in need of legal services. The team at Litigation, P.C. Law Firm is the most professional, caring, honest, and tenacious group of people I have ever met in the world of law. Their expertise and advice was exactly what I needed when determining how I wanted to move forward with my case. They were able to settle my case in a timely manner for a fair amount. The process isn’t straight forward for everyone, and they were able to clearly communicate every step of the way, which left me feeling very supported, confident, and put me at ease. Once my case was settled, the payment was very swift. I would absolutely use their services again should I ever be in need. Thank you to the entire team.”
