I am attorney Chris Yturralde, the founder of the Law Offices of Chris Yturralde. For over two decades, I have represented clients in employment-related disputes in El Centro, Imperial County and other parts of California. As your sexual harassment lawyer, I bring over 20 years of battle-tested experience to ensure your voice is heard and justice is served.
What Constitutes Sexual Harassment In California Workplaces?
Under the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), sexual harassment is unwanted and sexually suggestive verbal or physical advances directed toward a person. A hostile work environment exists when unwelcome conduct becomes pervasive enough to interfere with an employee’s ability to perform their duties. An example includes repeated sexual comments.
On the other hand, “Quid pro quo” harassment occurs when a person in authority demands sexual favors in exchange for employment benefits. As your employment attorney, I can aggressively pursue justice on your behalf.
California Law Protecting Workers From Sexual Harassment
California provides strong workplace protections through FEHA. Employers with five or more employees must comply with anti-harassment laws and prevent workplace misconduct. As an experienced employment lawyer, I can help you file appropriate complaints and pursue fair compensation.

- Supervisor harassment
- Co-worker harassment
