We take tough cases, no matter who is on the other side or how powerful they may be.
Sexual Harassment And Hostile Work Environment Cases Involve Difficult Circumstances
The attorneys at the Law Office of Sivertson and Barrette, P.A., in St. Paul, Minnesota, understand the serious emotional and physical effects sexual harassment has on its victims. People who suffer sexual harassment can feel powerless and deprived of the dignity and equality all employees deserve in the workplace.
If sexual harassment has become part of your work environment, you do not have to suffer in silence or worry you’ll face retaliation if you come forward. Victims of sexual harassment have well-established rights under federal and state employment laws.
Before taking legal action in your case, we take time to understand your unique situation and your goals. We advise clients on what the best approach is given the facts of their cases and the laws and policies that affect them. We then aggressively help clients who have faced harassment fight for their legal rights, while guiding them through the legal system.
Experienced Sexual Harassment Lawyers
For more than 40 years, the attorneys at the St. Paul Law Office of Sivertson and Barrette, P.A., have been protecting the rights of Minnesotans in the workplace and have handled some of the first sexual harassment cases reported in our state.
In the mid-1980s, our firm represented a Ramsey County court reporter who had been sexually harassed by the judge for whom he worked. This case was the first of its kind in the state. The firm won a $375,000 verdict for the employee, breaking ground both in sexual harassment law and pioneering new territory with respect to workplace rights. In fact, our early success resulted in the implementation of one of the first government policies in Minnesota prohibiting sexual harassment in the workplace.
