A: You are making the right decision to seek counsel in this situation, as opposition will not take you seriously until you are represented by experienced counsel. Have you had any form of settlement discussion with opposition, and what is the status of the EEOC claim? I would recommend organizing all information relevant to this situation, including any and all correspondences and EEOC documentation, and consult with an attorney immediately. Do not make any statements until you do so. A knowledgeable attorney will review all of the evidence, and will advise you as to the best course of action moving forward. In addition, many of us offer free consultations, so it will not cost you anything to obtain a professional and tailored opinion based on the specific facts of your case.
A:
Contact a member of the Illinois Trial Lawyers Assn who handles EEO/Whistleblower cases--they give free consults.
Unfortunately it's a little late but get the free consult ASAP! Do not discuss details of your case on any website, or the internet in general.
