Today marks the end of a long journey to justice for my client.

It’s been over two years, since we filed her lawsuit. We waded through a complicated case, but with patience and persistence we finally prevailed via mediation with former Judge Richard McDermott.



Through is all my client pushed past her anxiety, and remained resolute in her resolve to hold some very powerful people accountable. She stood up against abuses of power that included sexual harassment, retaliation, and a whole lot of gaslighting - not to mention discovery shenanigans the likes of which I have never seen. Congratulations Ms. Maes ;).

          I just had the pleasure of meeting with the Workplace Bullying Project's founder Lauri Lilli. What a breathe of fresh air for this lawyer. I am so weary of having to tell people I can not help them if they are still employed - because the employer has not taken that final "adverse employment action" or because though they are being horrifically bullied it is not illegal discrimination under the law.  There are no employment police you can call to show up at your workplace and make your boss, manager, supervisory or co-worker stop targeting, undermining, or backstabbing you. The law provides you the right to fight for damages only after unlawful (discriminatory) workplace actions have risen to a certain level of severity or pervasivenes. The case law defines a hostile work environment as harassment that changes the conditions of your job. It must be either severe or pervasive.
