A Guide On Choosing A Sexual Harassment Attorney In New Jersey

However, gone are the days where victims silently put up with sexual harassment in order to keep the peace. There is no getting around it – the only way you can get justice is by seeking legal representation. When choosing a sexual harassment attorney to represent you, there are some factors you need to consider.

Experience and Expertise

How many years of experience do the attorneys at your chosen law firm have? Does the law firm specialize in one aspect of the law, or take on a wide range of cases? At Carcich O’Shea, we focus only on employment law and business litigation and are at the forefront of the latest knowledge in this area. Besides that, our attorneys have years of experience in this field and can handle your case with care and sensitivity. 

Fee Structure

Depending on the law firm, you will either pay an upfront fee or a contingency fee. While upfront fees are pretty self-explanatory, a contingency fee means that attorney fees are only payable once you have successfully received a claim for your case. Some law firms operate on a contingency fee where applicable basis, meaning that after a case evaluation, they will let you know whether you have to pay an upfront fee. This largely depends on the strength and merits of your case, which will differ by individual circumstances.

Taking Legal Action

There are two ways to settle any dispute: through settlement or litigation. Settlements are private arrangements agreed on by both parties, where the terms are laid out clearly and both parties agree to abide by it. The case is settled upon the fulfillment of these terms and you can no longer pursue legal action unless the other party breaches these terms. An attorney can assist you in making a private settlement, however, if that proves impossible to achieve, are they willing and able to fight for your case and represent you legally?
