Los Angeles Workplace Discrimination Lawyers
At Miracle Mile Law Group, we believe every employee has the right to work in an environment free from harassment. Unfortunately, workplace harassment continues to affect employees across industries, often creating toxic, stressful, and unsafe work conditions. Our team is dedicated to defending employees who have faced harassment, holding employers accountable, and ensuring that unlawful behavior is addressed.
About Our Workplace Harassment Law Services
Workplace harassment involves any unwelcome behavior that targets an employee based on a protected characteristic such as race, gender, age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, or other personal attributes. This behavior can take many forms, including verbal, physical, or visual conduct that creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive environment.
Under California law, workplace harassment is illegal, and employers have a responsibility to prevent and address such behavior promptly. Two significant forms of workplace harassment that employees often face are Hostile Work Environment and Sexual Harassment.
Hostile Work Environment
A hostile work environment occurs when an employee experiences repeated, unwanted behavior that makes it difficult or impossible for them to perform their job. This harassment can include offensive remarks, discriminatory comments, or other behaviors that target the employee based on their protected characteristics. In a hostile work environment, the behavior must be severe or pervasive enough to create a work atmosphere that a reasonable person would consider intimidating or abusive.
Examples of hostile work environment harassment include:
- Persistent, offensive jokes or comments based on race, gender, religion, or other personal traits
- Displays of offensive or discriminatory images or materials
- Exclusion from work activities or opportunities due to discriminatory motives
- Repeated verbal or physical threats or intimidation
At Miracle Mile Law Group, we understand the toll a hostile work environment can take on your mental and emotional well-being. We fight for employees who endure this behavior, working to hold employers accountable for allowing a toxic atmosphere.
Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment is one of the most recognized forms of workplace harassment and can take two main forms:
- Quid Pro Quo Harassment: This occurs when employment decisions (such as promotions or raises) are based on the employee’s submission to unwelcome sexual advances or requests for sexual favors.
- Hostile Work Environment Sexual Harassment: This involves pervasive, unwanted sexual behavior or comments that make the workplace intimidating, offensive, or abusive.
Sexual harassment can include:
- Unwanted sexual advances or propositions
- Inappropriate touching or physical contact
- Lewd comments, jokes, or gestures
- Display of sexually explicit images or materials
- Repeated, unwelcome flirtation or communication of a sexual nature
California law provides strong protections for employees facing sexual harassment, and employers are required to take immediate action to stop this behavior. If your employer fails to address sexual harassment complaints, Miracle Mile Law Group will step in to ensure your rights are protected and that you receive the justice and compensation you deserve.

Our Expertise
California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) offers broad protections against workplace harassment. Whether you are facing harassment from a supervisor, coworker, or even a client, you have the right to work in an environment free from hostility and inappropriate conduct. Employers must not only take steps to prevent harassment but also respond promptly and effectively when complaints arise.
If you report harassment and face retaliation, such as being demoted, fired, or treated unfairly, this is also illegal, and you are entitled to seek legal action.
