Minnesota state and federal laws protect employees against sexual harassment and also from retaliation if an employee reports sexual harassment. Many people who experience harassment of any kind may feel afraid, angry, or scared. At Nelson Schaffer, we are compassionate and we will listen to you. We will also fight for you if your rights have been violated. If you have been sexually harassed or you have witnessed sexual harassment, contact us.
