Sexual Harassment 16%

There are two types of sexual harassment. The first type of sexual harassment is where you are harassed at work because of your gender. For example, co-workers tell sexual jokes or touch you inappropriately. The second form of sexual harassment is called quid pro quo sexual harassment. Here your superior offers you an employment benefit in exchange for some sexual activity. For example, if your boss says have sex with me if you want the promotion you have been sexually harassed.

Choose Attorney Mixon

Attorney Mixon is so Awesome! He is professional, patient, personable, passionate and very knowledgeable about employment law. He was concerned with me winning my case, but he was also concerned for me as a person. With a fast outcome, he won my case and I am beyond satisfied! I can't say enough good... things about him and I recommend him no reservations at all!

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Horribly Unprofessional Staff (review is only based on the person I spoke with today)

I called to inquire about a consultation. The woman who answered the phone sounded like she was chewing on something. She said they couldn't help me before I even had a chance to explain what happened, which very clearly falls in their wheelhouse. I practically had to beg her to fill out an intake fo...rm, only to be told they still couldn't help me. I asked why so I could reach out to someone who could help me. Once again I practically had to beg for an answer. After a long hold, she told me because my former employer is located out of state they couldn't help. I understand that, but she handled the call so poorly. I've heard good things about Steve. It's a shame that he would allow such unprofessional behavior to be displayed when someone calls in. In addition, he could be losing business because she (the receptionist, I assume) tries to reject clients without knowing the facts.

THE ABSOLUTE BEST IN THE FIELD

I have a pending matter but Mr. Mixon has handled my case, at every step, with the greatest attention to detail.

Professional, Knowledgeable, Passionate

It was such a joy working with Mr. Mixon and his team. His staff is caring and dependable. They kept me informed of everything pertaining to my case, and I realized very quickly that I was in good hands. I felt like a good friend or neighbor, less like a client. I mostly appreciate how greatly ...in tune Mr. Mixon was always with the facts of my case. His attention is so focused, he makes you forget he has tons of other cases to handle. Thank you so much to the entire staff for helping me win my case!

ABSOLUTE BEST ATTORNEY OUT THERE

I met Stephen after I parted ways with 3 previous attorneys. I pay close attention to a person's character. Mixon is most definitely who he says he is. He took my case all the way to the bank lol. This man is in a CLASS of his own. If refer him to my MOTHER, which says a lot. So if you're serious abo...ut resolving your case, and you truly wants an attorney that's gonna fought for your true case value. Go for Mixon. He'll be a strong partner. My case settled pretty fast and I'm more than happy with the amount.
