01/09 False Confessions
Quote From: mench60 You need to interview a lawyer who represents YOU, not the
company you work for. Be sure to take ALL the paperwork with you
to the meeting. You will gain a new understanding of this
situation. It's business, not emotions.
You could also talk to your company's lawyer, too. But remember
that lawyer is protecting the business, not you. PROTECT
YOURSELF! Talk to a lawyer NOW.
The couple who complained may have seen an easy way to get $ from your
company, or they have been discriminated against before. Doesn't
matter. (Interesting that they didn't make an appointment for
another time.)
This is about protecting you. You need to protect
yourself. Check around & see if you can find a lawyer
who will talk to you for free for the first visit. Call Legal Aid
for ideas, too. Ask what the lawyer should specialize in.
Is the complaint against you personally, or against the company you work for?
Do you have a mentor you can talk to, a person with more business experience than you have? Thank you for your response and suggestions. I have contacted a lawyer. Unfortunately, he is the best of the best and charges something around $360/hour. He assured me while discrimination still occurs, it does not occur as often as certain housing agencies would like to believe it does... HUD prides itself on an increased number of complaints. How is this progress? Shouldn't progress be less complaints with more awareness? We went through all of our records. The couple was from out of state and never scheduled an appointment. They were never a marketing lead. And they were given an opportunity to schedule an appointment. I am a rather shy person with little backbone, I suppose this could be why this is happening... It is so hurtful. I have always denounced racism and here I am being accused of it... Two days until the report is supposed to be done, God help me.
