Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

definiing my claim

My complaint went to EEOC Administrative Judge... Do I have to clearly define my claims and effects and post history of retribution for protected activity? Since the original complaints were filed I had new developments 6 months after original filing... Moreover, there was a breach of contract and violation of Equal Pay Act, could that be a separate claim in Superior court or EEOC will still consider it?

Re: definiing my claim

"My complaint went..." "Since the original complaints were filed..." This passive-voice language dodges the question of who filed these complaints. Surely you didn't file them yourself, and surely this isn't the first time you've sought assistance from a lawyer?? Unfortunately I suspect this is the case. If your attorney had filed the EEOC/DFEH complaints, you'd be in Superior Court by now, and maybe your case would have settled by now.
