When you receive your Notice of Right to Sue letter, it is imperative that you act quickly to hire competent representation. The issuance of a Right to Sue letter means that the EEOC either did not uncover any evidence of discrimination from their investigation, or does not have the resources to pursue litigation despite finding some evidence of discrimination. The letter is not a legal determination but an administrative conclusion. However, after the letter is issued, plaintiffs only have 90 days to file a formal complaint in federal court to begin their lawsuit.

Why hire an attorney for your employment law case? Federal court is vastly different from small claims or even state court. Federal courts have different sets of trial rules that are extremely difficult to navigate for nonattorneys. Indiana federal courts also require the filing of a case management plan that outlines key dates for when initial demands, discovery, and depositions must be completed. Hiring an attorney will save you the headache of navigating complicated forms and deadlines that could otherwise end your case prematurely.

But what should you look for in an employment law attorney? First, make sure you hire an attorney that specializes in employment law. Employment law is complex niche litigation and requires expertise and experience to win. Although some firms may advertise employment law as a practice area, hiring a firm that deals with employment law cases every day ensures that your case will be handled with competency and efficiency. Look at how long the attorney you’re researching has been practicing. Employment law is a unique area of law with pitfalls, exemptions, and loopholes. Attorneys who have handled numerous employment law cases know what to expect when issues arise that could derail inexperienced attorneys. Finally, the cheapest isn’t always the best. Although clients may have experienced difficulties paying bills after losing a job, looking for the cheapest attorney on the market may yield disappointing results. Hiring an attorney who you trust is often worth the additional expense.

How do I prepare to file my lawsuit after I receive my letter? First, do your research to find a great attorney. Make sure you mark your calendars with when your 90day time limit is due. Finally, when you’re ready to file a complaint with your attorney, there is a $400 filing fee required by the federal courts to file your documents and begin litigation.
