Legal Question in Sexual Harassment in Georgia

Re: sexual harassment / retaliation

As Scott said, one of the most important factors is your deadline. From your post, it appears that you have received a "cause" letter from the EEOC, meaning that the EEOC believed that your claim has merit and that you have a right to sue. If that is the case, you only have 90 days from your receipt of that letter in which to file a lawsuit.

Many firms will take good employment cases on a contingency basis, although many of these firms may ask for a retainer to cover some costs of the suit (filing fee, deposition costs, etc.). There are even some firms that will front you these expenses and get reimbursed from any recovery at the end of the case. When you talk with attorneys, make sure that they have significant experience in this type of work--employment cases are difficult for plaintiffs to win, so an experienced attorney can really help.

Our firm handles these cases regularly, and I would be happy to discuss this case with you even if it is just to point you in the right direction.

Re: sexual harassment / retaliation

There are many firms that take solid cases on contingency, especially in larger cities. Ask lawyers you may know for referrals (we don't know where in GA you are). Make sure that cases like yours have been a significant part of their practice - don't retain someone just because they solicit you. We also do not know deadlines, so you need to start the process soon to make sure you meet any deadlines.
