Mesriani Law Group Helps Sexually Harassed Male Employee Recover $130,000.00

One of the toughest issues in a sexual harassment case, especially cases revolving around suggestive comments, is the need to prove that the conduct is actually harassment and not simply banter between co-workers. This issue is even more difficult to prove when the employee claiming harassment is male and the purported harassing employee is female.

This was the problem which Mesriani Law Group faced in its representation of Mr. Lynch in his case against a Confidential Employer. Mr. Lynch came to work for the company in November of 2006, to work as a customer service representative. In addition to receiving a salary, Mr. Lynch was also receiving priority mooring privileges for the sailboat he also lived on.

From the onset of the employment, Mr. Lynch was the subject of suggestive and derrogatory comments from his female supervisors ranging from comments about his sex life with his girlfriend to his physical appearance. These same supervisors also regularly subjected Mr. Lynch to detailed descriptions of their own sex lives, even after Mr. Lynch stated he was not interested in hearing about the subject. When Mr. Lynch reported these problems, the employer did nothing to deal with the issue. In fact, the employer terminated Mr. Lynch in March of 2007, claiming the reports of harassment were insubordination against his supervisors.

Mr. Lynch then contacted Mesriani Law Group to handle his case. Mesriani Law Group was able to keep the litigation focused on the facts of the matter and prevent the employer from engaging in a defense which attacked Mr. Lynch and relied upon the common presumption that men cannot be sexually harassed. The attorneys in the Employment Division of Mesriani Law Group investigated the claim thoroughly and secured considerable evidence against the employer. Mesriani Law Group was even able to use the employer’s own files against them, finding evidence of the management of the employer admitting that the events Mr. Lynch complained about did occur exactly as he described them. Faced with their own incompetence and admissions of fault, the employer was forced to agree to a settlement of the claim in the amount of $130,000.00.
