Ohio Age Discrimination

Unless I am mistaken, the agency you filed with was the Ohio Civil Rights Commission or OCRC. They have a minimum of 180 days to investigate your claim. If they find no cause, they will send you a "right to sue" letter, which will allow you to file against the bank within 180 days. Check with your lawyer, and see if he also filed a claim with the federal EEOC. That should have been done when you filed with the state, but make sure.
