    Workplace Harassment

    A federal court jury recently awarded $17,500 in damages to a former employee of the Virginia Beach Lifesaving Service after finding the woman was fired for filing a discrimination complaint, the woman’s attorney said. Former lifeguard Robin Lang was able to show that the lifesaving service retaliated against her by firing her after she filed a gender discrimination complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, said attorney Lisa A. Bertini, who represented Lang.

    Every legal matter is different. The outcome of each legal case depends upon many factors, including the facts of the case, and no attorney can guarantee a positive result in any particular case.

    “Ms. Bertini treated me like a real person who needed help out of an extremely bad work environment. (Another attorney I had spoken with earlier basically laughed off my case!) Ms. Bertini immediately took command, asked the right questions and went to work. My severance was negotiated entirely within a week and she got exactly what I asked for. While I do not know the specifics, I can tell you she had a strategy and she was not at all afraid to go back for more, even after a “final offer” was on the table!”

    “I never imagined myself in a situation needing to seek legal counsel. However, life throws you a curve sometimes. After hearing Lisa Bertini’s name suggested to me multiple times, it became clear to me who I needed to contact. Once in communication, Ms. Bertini was quick to work with me to gather details and educate me on the next steps. She worked through the process in a professional manner and kept me up-to-date every step of the way. I am now able to recommend Ms. Bertini myself and am delighted to do so.”
