Keith Griffin of Girardi Keese and Ebby Bakhtiar of Livingston obtained a $15.39 million verdict against Jack in the Box on June 11, 2019 after a 39 day jury trial. Attorneys Griffin and Bakhtiar represented Blanca Ramirez, who worked for Jack in the Box as a supervisor for 12 years. Ms. Ramirez was fired after making two reports of sexual misconduct against her restaurant's supervisory and management staff. Ms. Ramirez first blew the whistle on the restaurant manager's highly inappropriate sexual misconduct in the workplace, including the sending of profanity-laced text messages and partially nude photographs to a seventeen-year-old female employee. Ms. Ramirez's report resulted in little discipline to the manager, who was simply transferred to a different restaurant.Girardi | Keese Announces Lawsuit Filed Against Egyptian Government for Flight 9268 Tragedy
