Congratulations to Gregory Brown for yet another great result for a client! Greg is an Orange County business lawyer with Brown Charbonneau who recently obtained a six figure settlement for his client (the actual amount is confidential). Greg's client was a long term employee of a very famous Olympian athelete and celebrity. The employee had worked for the Olympian for 14 years and had been instrumental in growing his businesses. The job had called for long hours and lots of travel and during this time a relationship had developed - this part of the story was never in disupte. After some time the employee decided she did not want to be in the relationship but was told that she couldn't keep her job if it came to an end. Eventually it did of course, at which time the employee found herself in a very hostile work environment. Previously she had been given stellar reviews but suddenly she found herself ridiculed in public. What's staggering is that the employer actually sent her a text message saying "You’ve been exploited by men all your life and now you can add me to that list. Inappropriate advances will now cease."

After much negotiation the employee settled on an award which was more than 3 times more than she had originally requested.
