Sexual Harassment Settlement in Construction Industry

We recently resolved a substantial sexual harassment case against a large construction industry company.  Our client was subjected to unlawful and unwanted touching and sexual comments – clearly violating Tennessee Law.  We were able to settle this case for a substantial sum before we needed to get into discovery in this case.  The reason is the company knew they had major problems with their case.  Our client review for this case is as follows:

Jason was awesome from start to finish. He’s prompt, extremely informative, and quite realistic as far as what to expect throughout this process. I contacted his office feeling quite defeated and dirty to be honest. I’m a woman in the construction industry that had a misogynist predator for a boss. Needless to say he made my life a living hell with his countless inappropriate remarks about my body, his puns about my ethnicity and his constant reminders that this was his world and I was merely living in it. After almost 3 months and taking the proper procedures to try and get him disciplined and failing badly because the company placed more importance on his position than actually protecting me as a victim of this incessant harassment- I contacted Jason and it turned out to be quite a blessing! I received a nice settlement for all of my suffering and can now never look back at that horrible company, nor do I have to accept inappropriate behavior going forward with any company or any job site. He gave me my peace of mind and self esteem back! He will NOT disappoint and he’ll go to bat for you!!

Another Significant Sexual Harassment Settlement for Client

We recently obtained a significant sexual harassment settlement for a case pending in Davidson County, Tennessee.  This case was litigated including extensive written discovery and document production.  Also, multiple depositions were taken, putting significant pressure on the employer to answer for their sexually harassing behavior.  This resulted in a very significant settlement award that was obtained at a mediation.

This client reviewed us online and stated the following:

After working with Jason Lee over the past 13 months I have absolutely no regrets in hiring him to represent me. This was my first experience with this type of lawsuit and he always made sure I understood everything completely and was always patient with any questions and/or concerns I had. He was also always prompt when returning emails or phone calls. Without a doubt, throughout this case, I knew that Jason was fighting for me, not just because it’s his job but because he legitimately cared. I strongly recommend him for legal needs.

Significant Sexual Harassment Settlement Obtained for Client Against Construction Company

We obtained a very significant settlement for our client in a severe sexual harassment case against a construction company.  The terms of the settlement are confidential, however, our client obtained a very significant monetary settlement rightbefore trial.  This case was heavily litigated through depositions and motions for summary judgment in order to maximize the value to our client.  Shortly before trial, the company significantly increased their settlement offer, resolving the case before trial.

Our client offered these comments about our work on this matter:

“HONEST.  He never kept me waiting. I didn’t trust attorneys, but then I met him. He will fight for you as if you were one of his own. We won even more money that we originally expected. I didn’t know that such an honest, sincere person could also be equally as aggressive and passionate until i met him. I lost the feeling of powerlessness when he sat down next to me, across the table from my used to be employer owner/millionaire. My life is forever changed due to his hard work and compassion.”

Federal Court Denies Motion for Summary Judgment Against Burrow Lee, PLLC Client in Sexual Harassment Case

In a significant sexual harassment case against a middle Tennessee employer, the employer filed a motion for summary judgment to try to dismiss the core sexual harassment and sexually hostile work environment case.  We defended against this motion for summary judgment, pointing out to the court, the extensive sexual harassment of our client.  This sexual harassment largely consisted of numerous vulgar sexual comments about our client from her direct supervisor and others.  After extensive briefing, the Court agreed with our position and denied the motion for summary judgment on the sexual harassment claim by the employer.  This was a significant victory for our client to allow this case to move forward.  The opinion on this ruling can be found at this link.

$1.5+ Million Dollar Verdict Obtained in Sexual Harassment Case Against Tennessee Doctor

In 2017 we went to trial on a case for our client in a sexual harassment/sexually hostile work environment case.  This was a 3 day trial in Rutherford County, Tennessee.  The Jury provided a verdict over $2.3 Million dollars (that was reduced to $1.5+ Million dollars by statute) against the medical clinic and the doctor.  This case was reported on here and here.

Our client reviewed our legal work as follows:

“I HIGHLY recommend Jason Lee as an attorney! I was referred to him by a friend who owns a business who has used him for years for legal issues regarding it. We took my case to trial recently which involved a sexual harassment claim against a company and we had a very successful verdict! Jason prepared me well for my deposition and trial and was focused the entire time. The best thing I did was meeting with him and, from that day on, Jason has been easy to contact, thorough, and professional. He is extremely passionate about justice and the law. He has kept me updated with every change and progress of my case. I never once felt like I was just another case file for him and I never felt like I couldn’t ask him questions or bring my concerns to him. Having an attorney who I can trust and communicate with has made the world of a difference for me and it has made this ordeal bearable. I don’t believe I would have ever made it as far with my case had I not met with Jason when I did. He kept me focused throughout the entire process. I will always be grateful for the time and effort he put into my case to make sure that I walked away with justice and peace of mind. I would use him again without question and refer him to anyone! He is definitely one of a kind and I am blessed to call him my attorney.”
