  1. I have a question. I have to file an EEOC complaint against the state who is the employer. Everyone has told me to go to the federal EEOC. However, I’ve gotten cryptic, mixed messages from lawyers offices I’ve contacted. I don’t know if I should file with the EEOC first, before retaining a lawyer or get a lawyer retained immediately before filing the EEOC complaint. I’m told EEOC actually does noting but go through some bureaucratic process then kick out a permission to sue notice which I need for phase 2 which will require a lawyer. I know the retaliation at work will increase once EEOC contacts my employer, so I would like to have a lawyer from the beginning, however, some of the lawyers I’ve contacted asked specifically if I’ve already been through the EEOC process without explaining why. I’d like to handle what I can before paying lawyers but I don’t know if they’d take my case before the EEOC complaint finishes and I don’t know if I need to pay a lawyer ahead of the EEOC complaint to protect myself from further retaliation.

    I need advice on this. Please help.

    1. We are sorry to hear about the frustrations your family is experiencing. Thank you for reaching out to us Audrey. I would suggest giving one of our probate attorneys a call to discuss your matter privately in more detail.
