If are talking about employment issues, you probably need to file a claim with the EEOC first.

If you would like to discuss any issues further, please feel free to contact my office. The link to my contact information is below. Thank you.

The foregoing is general information only, not specific legal advice. No attorney/client relation has been created or should be implied.

You must first file a complaint of discrimination with the EEOC if you intend to pursue a claim of discrimination against your employer/related company. The EEOC will investigate your claim and your claim could be resolved favorably at that stage. If not, the EEOC will issue a "write to sue" letter and you can pursue your claim in federal or state court.

I hope this information helps as you continue to weigh your options. If you need further assistance, feel free to contact us at: [email protected]

I suggest contacting an attorney before you even file with the EEOC. Anything you submit to the EEOC could be used against you and as a result, it wouldn't hurt to have an attorney to advise you.

As you can see from the previous 2 answers, there is no shortage of attorneys willing to review and/or help, as there is a good chance a good amount of money will be involved. And because of that, you'll attract all sorts of parasites and leeches. (That's what lawyers are.)

With that being said, feel free to contact me and I will pursue your claim for free, I won't even take a cut of any settlement or judgment. That's right, 0 free of charge. On a %0 contingency.

The legal economy is dead, lawyers are starving, and now lawyers like myself are working 0 for free. You should thank the ABA and the law school scam for this.

Contact me at 404-522-0341 to take advantage of this great offer!

Think this is a scam? Think again! Look my name up on the Georgia Bar's website. Confirm that I am licensed and in good standing with the state bar!

Good luck!

The first two answers are correct. I won't comment on the third answer.

To start, you might want to read the information provided by the EEOC at www.EEOC.gov.

It will provide you basic information about your claim.

Thereafter, you should consult with an attorney before you go the EEOC.

It is my experience that people often trip during the EEOC process.

Yes, I charge for the initial consultation ($50-$100) and you have to pay for your own expenses.

If you call around, this is the norm because in general, you get what your pay for in life.

Finally, you are abolutely right, if you are a covered employee under Title VII, you must go through the EEOC. In many cases, it is priceless to have your attorney accompany you to the EEOC when you file your charge and talk with the investigators. I've seen too many mistakes to suggest that you handle this alone. Therefore, it's worth the money to have the attorney spend 1-2 hours at the agency's office.
