Sexual Harassment

Houston Sexual Harassment and Sexual Harassment in the Workplace

Suing Your Employer or High-Level Supervisor for Sexual Harassment

Sexual Harassment occurs when an employer or supervisor makes continued unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or unwanted physical contact that is offensive or lewd. At The Law Offices of Kevin R. Madison, P.C. we vigorously pursue cases against employers and high-level supervisors who sexually harass employees. Mr. Madison has pursued business owners, doctors, psychiatrists, lawyers for sexually harassing their employees.

Kevin R. Madison pursues sexual harassment cases against employers, business owners, and high-level supervisors using state laws that prohibit unwelcome touching (“assault by contact”) and outrageous conduct that causes serious emotional distress (“intentional infliction of emotional distress”), rather than using federal Equal Employment Opportunity laws that prohibit sexual harassment. In cases that involve groping, touching, or outrageous intentional lewd conduct, Mr. Madison pursues the predators using Texas statutes and causes of action recognized by Texas appellate courts (case law). Civil charges of Assault by Contact and Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress are utilized to pursue those who sexually harass their employees.

Some examples of illegal conduct by an employer or a high-level supervisor include:

Repeated unwelcome comments of a sexual or lewd nature to an employee
Sending lewd or pornographic emails, text messages, or voicemail to an employee
Unwelcome groping or touching of an employee
Unwelcome kissing of an employee
Sexual assault of an employee
Requesting sexual relations from an employee
Describing sexual fantasies about an employee to that employee

In Texas it is illegal for an employer to even touch an employee in a manner that would be considered offensive or provocative by a reasonable person. Mr. Madison has successfully obtained monetary (money) damage recoveries against doctors, lawyers, business owners, and others who have molested their employees by kissing their employees, touching their employees’ buttocks or breasts, and by making repeated and unwelcomed lewd statements of a sexual nature. Additionally, we pursue claims of assault against employers and business owners who assault, strike, or unlawfully touch their employees. We pursue legal claims against persons who molest or assault their housekeepers, nannies, staff, and domestic servants.

We pursue sexual harassment and sexual indecency cases against predators including these types of relationships and situations:

Employer sexually harassing an employee
Employer sexually harassing a Contract Employee
Employer sexually harassing a Temporary Worker (Temp)
Homeowner sexually harassing a Babysitter
Homeowner sexually harassing a Nanny
Homeowner sexually harassing a Housekeepers or Domestic Servants

Victims of sexual harassment may experience depression and guilt over the abuse they suffered. It is important to remember that victims do not ask to be abused. It takes time, counseling, and healing to transition from being a victim to a survivor. Whether you were sexually harassed by an employer or a trusted professional, you may have the right to pursue a civil action against your abuser. At The Law Offices of Kevin R. Madison, P.C. we are dedicated to helping the survivors of sexual harassment assert their legal right and moral duty to pursue predators and bullies and to seek financial compensation that the law allows from those who sexually harass and abuse others.

He saved my life. He even helped me with my PTSD. He really cared about me. He helped me understand that woman can be protected by him and the law. His response time and bed side manners were the key to my recovery. I now help other women because of Kevin Madison.”

Thank you Mr. Madison for all that you do!

I ventured outside of Carrollton, Texas to find legal representation due to many local conflicts of interest. I found Mr. Madison on the Internet and after he traveled, with his wife, to meet with me, it was apparent that he was professional, capable, and sincere. My situation was tricky- the boundaries of liability were grey, and I had been told by local lawyers that it was unlikely any positive outcome would arise. WRONG. Mr. Madison aggressively pursued and successfully achieved that “impossible” task and victory! Mr. Madison contacted me and updated me regularly on my case progress. I am grateful that I was spared any discomfort or humiliation regarding an event that I had no control over. I walked away with a satisfying cash settlement and my head held high. I finally feel that I can put this all behind me. Thank you Mr. Madison for all that you do!

Highly recommends !

Mr. Madison returned my phone call promptly, listened attentively to my story, and immediately made me feel 100% confident that he would quickly and competently seek justice for me. I was involved in a situation where an employer had physically groped me within the first week of working at my new job. Mr. Madison exceeded my expectations by settling my case within 12 hours of signing the contract with him and he got me $10,000 more than I expected! Amazing! I recommend him highly

Jennifer Stark

Outstanding!

Outstanding! Mr. Madison contacted me within 24 hours and he even met with me the very next day! And on a Sunday no less! Mr. Madison was knowledgeable, kind and professional. Within 2 days of contacting him, he was able to settle my case. I would recommend Mr. Madison time and time again.

Thank You!

After searching the entire Houston area for an attorney that works with victims of stalking and harassment, I was disappointed that no one’s website spoke of this type of issue that I could find. Fortunately, I found Kevin Madison. I was very impressed with the detailed information on his site, specifically regarding stalking and harassment cases. With his valuable knowledge, experience, and high level of integrity, Kevin fought for me against the individual that had been stalking and harassing me for seven years. The end result was more than I expected and I was very pleased. He listened, returned my phone calls and emails quickly and counseled me professionally and with heart. I highly recommend anyone seeking legal counsel to contact Kevin Madison.
