Legal Question in Employment Law in California

Seems sort of stangely obvious - but what it means is that you have followed all the procedures required of you BEFORE you are ALLOWED to file a lawsuit against whomever you complained against. It does not mean you won or they lost all it means is that you are cleared for the next step to sue. Really read the notice carefully and do what it says. I believe you can also file for mediation but you need to consult an attorney in your area on that matter or call the agency that issued the ntice. If there is a lot of money involved it is to your benefit to hire an attorney (more than $7500 is out of small claims jurisdiction). The other thing this notice does which is REALLY important is it starts a statute of limitations for you to file. SO you really need to see this . I am happy to review this for you and I practice in your area. if you can scan it and send to me I can tell you more - if you cant scan you can e-mail me at [email protected] and tell me the details of your complaint and what the letter says and I can tell you more about what I believe you should do and whether you will need an attorney or not.

Believe me - if there is a significant claim involved your chances are far better with an attorney representing you.

Either sue in time, or forget it. IF the case has merit [likelihood of winning and the other side found liable], value [provable damages] and collectability [defendant with sufficient insurance coverage or available assets to collect against], feel free to contact me if serious about getting counsel. I've been doing these cases for over 35 years.
