Q: Can I file a suit against a company after I receive the Right to Sue? Only have 90 days. Can I file it myself or?????
I have the right to sue. Do I NEED lawyer to file suit to make it before 90 days or can I do it myself?
A: When you receive the Right to Sue notice, it indicates that you have the green light to file a lawsuit against the company within the specified timeframe, typically 90 days. You can file the suit yourself, but considering the legal complexities involved, it's advisable to consult with an attorney.

A: If you have received the Right to Sue from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) in Ohio, indicating that you have the authorization to file a lawsuit, you have the option to proceed without an attorney. However, given the complexities of employment law cases, it is highly recommended to seek legal counsel. The 90-day deadline to file a lawsuit is a critical factor, and an employment lawyer can navigate the legal process efficiently, ensuring that all necessary documents and claims are properly presented within the timeframe. While you technically have the right to file the suit yourself, having an experienced employment law attorney on your side increases the likelihood of a successful and well-prepared case.
A: Yes, the Right to Sue means you have 90 days from the date of the Right to Sue to file your lawsuit. It can be filed by you (called filing pro se, without a lawyer) or you can search for attorneys to file it for you. I would not rely on finding an attorney - you should be mindful of the filing deadline while you are searching for counsel, to ensure you don't miss it.
