Mesriani Law Group's Employment Division Garners Large Settlement for Client

Mesriani Law Group’s Employment Division takes great pride in its efforts to vindicate the rights of its clients and in securing just compensation for the damages caused by the loss of those rights. As a result, the Employment Division is extremely happy to announce it latest success, securing $85,000.00 for Ms. Nourashemi, a sexual harassment victim, against her former employer, a nationally known banking institution.

Ms. Nourashemi was a 19 year old clerk at the bank at the time of the incident. On June 19, 2008, she attended a birthday party for one of her fellow employees at the home of another employee. During that party, several managerial employees attempted to pressure her into drinking alcoholic beverages. She left the room to avoid this pressure, but the managers followed her, eventually trapping her in an upstairs room. When she fled that room, the managers followed her and one of them grabbed her violently by the throat, before she managed to finally flee the party.

After this incident, Ms. Nourashemi began to feel uncomfortable at work and requested a transfer from the branch. Her request was met with a threat from the bank’s district manager, who essentially blamed her for the attack. This campaign of harassment eventually forced her to take a medical leave.

Ms. Nourashemi sought out Mesriani Law Group to investigate her options. Recognizing that harassment had occurred, Mesriani Law Group took the case and began to prosecute her claim. They secured multiple witness statements and with those statements, were able to fully recreate the events of the evening in question. After exhausting all of the appropriate administrative remedies and engaging in pre-litigation discussions, Mesriani Law Group filed a lawsuit on Ms. Nourashemi’s behalf. With the suit in place, the banking institution had no choice but to negotiate in earnest towards settlement. Due to the exceptional skills of the Employment Division attorneys, the bank was forced to pay a settlement amount of $85,000.00 to Ms. Nourashemi for the harassment she had endured.
