To Sandy, Bonnie,Juanita and Greg, I am sorry that I did not give you enough background to clarify my question. I have been through months of paperwork with the WI Equal Rights Division and have a case number with EEOC. I have received a notice of an Initial Determination of Probable Cause and a letter saying that the case will soon go to hearing. So, I have been interviewing attorneys. I guess you guys can't really tell me what to do next, I just need the support. It is a very hard decision to make--we don't have a lot of money. The 1st attorney wants a retainer of $10,000 plus expenses and that is a contingent fee! We have found others whose retainers are far less and one who wants no retainer but settles almost all cases. And then there's the option of contacting the Administrative Law Judge before the hearing and offering to settle--no attorney necessary. I have even contacted the Wisconsin Coalition for Advocacy but I guess we're too "rich" for them to help us. So, I am going to have to make some kind of decision this weekend. Thanks for being there to vent to.
