What Is a Hostile Work Environment?
A hostile work environment exists when unwelcome conduct, such as sexual harassment or discrimination, creates an offensive or oppressive atmosphere. This can include behaviors like inappropriate sexual advances, discriminatory remarks, or retaliation for reporting such actions. These situations can have a severe impact on individuals, affecting their well-being and even leading to long-term psychological consequences.
If you’re facing a hostile work environment, understanding your rights and seeking legal support is crucial.

"Hard working, extremely diligent litigator"
Highest ethical and moral standards and someone who actually cares about his clients. In my experience, these are attributes often lacking from Los Angeles litigators.
Former Client -
"Michael is a true gem!"In the very first five minutes of our conversation about my case, it was evident that Michael is different. We hadn't even started, and Michael was on the case, so well prepared, and so familiar with every aspect of the situation. Michael's informed perspective and knowledge of the industry is clear in every assessment he makes, and his wealth of experience saved me from many potential disasters. I am truly grateful to Michael for his generosity, and for him patiently and clearly explaining the important strategic details that ensured the success of my case.Former Client
