I was out shopping at a local store when I was accused of theft. Honestly I feel I was discriminated against. What kind of attorney takes these type of cases?

you will want a civil litigator.
however, you have the burden of proof and "feeling" doesn't sound like it is enough.
it will be VERY difficult to find a lawyer for a case like this.
you have to prove liability and DAMAGES............

Your ins will only be there for you, for what you purchased. They have no other obligation.
you all should probably set up a mediation to have a 3rd party assist you.

why not contact the Captain of the station and your City Councilman/woman.
i anticipate you will have a challenging time finding a lawyer to handle this on a contingency............what are your damages?
That means you may have to retain a lawyer on a retainer and billing on an hourly.
I don’t know if that would serve as good evidence that I tried to stop it and that they showed a deliberate intent to keep going. I don’t know if it would look bad on me for asking them to leave me alone and that they’re making me uncomfortable or not. Does anyone know what kind of evidence... View More
