Legal Question in Civil Litigation in New York

Potential employer lost my portfolio

Hello,

I am having trouble finding legal help with my situation. Basically I am a freelance graphic designer in Georgia and I submitted my portfolio to a company in New York for employment and they lost my portfolio.

All this occured last summer in July of 2000. Since then I have been unable to obtain employment in my profession. It is next to impossible for a professional in a creative field to gain employment without a portfolio to show at an interview. My career is ruined. Years of college and money is down the drain!!!!

Can anyone point me in the direction i need to take to file a lawsuit and obtain damages?

Do I need a lawyer or can I successfuly get thru the suit on my own?

What type of law or lawyer does my problem fall under?

Thank You

I received your message on 3-9-2001.

You must first establish that they had the materials...then, that they lost them...then, the value...for which you need expert testimony.

Any questions, feel free to contact me at [email protected]
