Sexual Harassment; Law Firm; Simple Battery
A young female secretary at a small metropolitan law firm was sexually harassed by one of the firm's partners, to the point that she informed her parents and her husband, who referred her to the Firm. Although the lawyer denied any wrongdoing or inappropriate misconduct, the Firm was able to obtain evidence of sexually explicit emails from the lawyer to the secretary from the hard drive on the lawyer's computer. A significant settlement was negotiated immediately thereafter, and the partner resigned from his firm.
