Las Vegas Sexual Harassment Attorneys

Fighting for Justice in the Workplace

At F. Travis Buchanan, Esq. & Associates, PLLC, we represent individuals throughout Las Vegas and the state of Nevada who have been subjected to sexual harassment in the workplace. Whether you're an entry-level employee, mid-level professional, or executive, you have the right to work in an environment free from unwanted sexual advances, coercion, and hostile behavior. When that right is violated, our legal team is here to stand by you and hold your employer accountable.

Despite growing public awareness, sexual harassment remains pervasive in workplaces across all industries. Unwelcome conduct based on gender, pregnancy, sexual orientation, or gender identity that interferes with job performance or creates an intimidating or offensive atmosphere is not only unethical—it is unlawful under federal and state law.

What Qualifies as Sexual Harassment

in the Workplace?

Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Nevada’s anti-discrimination statute (NRS 613.330), and other state and local laws, sexual harassment may include:

Unwelcome sexual advances or physical contact
Sexual jokes, slurs, or derogatory comments
Offensive or explicit images, posters, or messages
Unwanted touching, brushing, hugging, or groping
Pressure for dates, sexual favors, or romantic interactions
Comments or questions about sexual identity, orientation, or anatomy
Intimidation, insults, or mockery based on gender

Whether the harasser is a manager, supervisor, coworker, or even a customer, you have rights—and you don’t have to suffer in silence.

Two Primary Types of Sexual Harassment

Hostile Work Environment: This type of harassment occurs when sexually charged behavior is so frequent or severe that it creates an abusive or intimidating work atmosphere. This may include persistent inappropriate comments, touching, or even non-sexual gender-based remarks that belittle or marginalize an employee.

Quid Pro Quo Harassment: This occurs when a person in a position of authority conditions employment decisions—such as hiring, firing, promotions, or benefits—on the employee’s submission to sexual conduct. Even an implied threat or suggestion can qualify as quid pro quo harassment under the law.

Common Myths About Sexual Harassment

MYTH: Only women can be victims.
FACT: Sexual harassment can happen to anyone—regardless of gender, orientation, or identity.
MYTH: Harassment must be direct to be illegal.
FACT: Even witnessing offensive behavior can contribute to a hostile work environment.
MYTH: You must be fired or demoted to have a case.
FACT: Any conduct that interferes with your work or well-being may be grounds for a claim.

Why So Many Victims Stay Silent—

and Why You Don’t Have To

Despite the legal protections in place, the vast majority of sexual harassment goes unreported. Victims often fear retaliation, being disbelieved, workplace ostracism, or career damage. Many feel that Human Resources exists to protect the company, not the employee. These concerns are real—but you are not alone, and you do not have to navigate this process without support.

At F. Travis Buchanan, Esq. & Associates, PLLC, we offer confidential legal guidance, strategic advocacy, and a commitment to your privacy and dignity. We understand the emotional and professional toll that sexual harassment takes, and we are here to help you take back control.

Take Legal Action Before Time Runs Out

Federal and state laws impose strict deadlines for filing a claim. In many cases, employees must file with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or Nevada Equal Rights Commission (NERC) before pursuing a lawsuit. Acting quickly ensures that your rights are preserved and that you have the best chance at justice.
