A Credit Counselor Versus a Bankruptcy Attorney

About Me

A Credit Counselor Versus a Bankruptcy Attorney

When I was drowning in debt, I knew that soon enough I would need to file for bankruptcy. I simply didn't make enough to cover the amount of debt I had accumulated. However, I was not sure whether I should work with a credit counselor or a bankruptcy attorney. I did a lot of research on the subject and found that there are pros and cons to working with both a credit counselor and a bankruptcy attorney, and that you also had the option of working with both at the same time. Ultimately, I decided to hire the attorney, but that may not be the best option for everyone. I created this website to help you understand what a credit counselor is and what they do, what a bankruptcy attorney is and what they do and how each can help you if you are drowning in debt.

What Your Sexual Harassment Attorney Can Do For You

19 May 2018
 Categories: Law, Blog

No matter who you have been sexually harassed by, there is never an excuse for their behavior and you need to contact an attorney right away. You have rights and you may need to take legal action in order to protect those rights. To understand why it is better to hire a sexual harassment attorney instead of handling this yourself, you will want to learn about the things the attorney can do for you. Here are some of them:

Preserves Your Employment Or Pay

If the sexual harassment happened at your place of work, you may not feel comfortable or safe returning for your shifts. However, in no way do you deserve to be fired, as you are the victim of a crime. Of course, those accused are technically innocent until proven guilty so your company may be in a hard place and may not be allowed to fire the accused right away. In this case, you might want to be the one who does not return for a while, especially since people talk and you do not want to face the questions or accusations of other co-workers. To ensure that you will not be fired during your absence, you will want an attorney to submit legal documents to your employer. You may even be able to get paid time off, since you should not have to suffer financially because of the actions of another person.

Helps With Criminal Or Civil Legal Action

If you have filed criminal charges with the police, your attorney will be there to represent you in court. If criminal charges are not able to be brought against the accused, your sexual harassment attorney can help you file a civil case with the courts. This way, you will be able to ensure that the person who harassed you is going to be held accountable for their actions. Trying to make it through the court system on your own, without any prior legal experience, is brutal.

Make sure that you are searching for sexual harassment attorneys that come highly recommended. Whether you are referred to them by a friend, family member, therapist or social worker, it is still important to call to schedule a consultation. You want to know that you and the attorney will have an easy time communicating with each other, especially since this can be a highly sensitive and disturbing issue to talk about. This will help ensure that you are going to receive the best help possible.
