Frequently Asked Questions

Answers about civil sexual harassment claims from trusted Washington attorneys.

  • What counts as sexual harassment under Washington law?

    Sexual harassment includes any unwelcome sexual behavior—physical, verbal, or visual—that creates a hostile environment or impacts your rights at work or in housing. This can involve inappropriate comments, gestures, messages, or requests. Both men and women are protected under the law.

    Start the Conversation
  • What if there’s no physical contact?

    Physical contact is not required. Harassment can be verbal (inappropriate jokes, pressure, or comments), visual (texts, emails, gestures), or implied (threats or behavior that makes you feel unsafe or uncomfortable). If it impacts your ability to work or feel secure, you may have a valid claim.

  • Is my case confidential?

    Yes. We treat all sexual harassment cases with absolute discretion. From your first consultation onward, everything you share is protected. Your safety, comfort, and privacy are our top priorities.

    Talk to Your Advocate
  • Do I have to confront the harasser directly?

    No. Once you have legal representation, we take over all communication. You never have to speak to the person who harmed you. We prioritize your emotional safety and ensure your legal rights are protected throughout the process.

  • How long do I have to file a sexual harassment claim in Washington?

    Civil claims typically must be filed within three years, but certain workplace or housing violations may have shorter deadlines under state or federal law. The sooner you contact an attorney, the more effectively we can protect evidence and build your case.
