While all people have the right to work and learn in an environment free of unwanted attention, scheming and unscrupulous people often use harassment as a weapon against those undeserving of such harsh and damaging allegations. In some cases, innocent mistakes or misunderstandings can spiral into a legal predicament requiring swift and effective damage control. When formal allegations are made, competent legal representation is crucial to protecting company morale and public relations.
The successful defense of employment related harassment litigation requires, from the inception of the case, an intensive investigation so that an intelligent, strong defense can be created on the client’s behalf. McHenry & Horan is known for the personal and tireless efforts of its attorneys in cases of this nature. As a matter of routine, all pertinent documents are obtained and analyzed and all potential witnesses are interviewed. Our attorneys are also available to counsel clients to make an assessment of potential risk. When a known problem presents itself we conduct internal investigations and render advice regarding disciplinary action and corrective measures.
While the firm always strives for complete and total victory for its clients, it is equally important on a case by case basis, to be cognizant of the potential for adverse publicity. As in all areas of practice, the legal staff of the firm takes great pride in working with clients to provide them with the optimal outcome.
