$400k Awarded for Employee’s Sexual Harassment

ALBANY, NY | The Towne Law Firm, P.C. (TLF) scored a huge win against a local nursing home for ignoring the sexual harassment of an employee by a supervisor.

The judge ultimately granted an award for past economic loss, emotional pain and suffering and punitive damages while ordering that plaintiff’s attorneys’ fees be paid in full.
