EEOC Litigation - Intervention

[6339]

What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? California
I am the Charging Party in an EEOC Charge where reasonable cause was found, conciliation failed and the EEOC filed a civil suit. I have not needed to retain an attorney to this point. What are the advantages and disadvantages of intervening with an attorney? If I do intervene with an attorney what are the usual duties and responsibilities of the attorney and financial arrangements as opposed to those if I filed myself and retained an attorney?

You can hire a lawyer anytime

I believe it is your right to hire an attorney anytime you want, however, if the EEOC has already filed a law suit on your behalf, why do you want to do that?, I mean, you can hire a lawyer, but not to take the case from the EEOC, but to have a legal adviser. I am not an expert, but if the EEOC is suing for you, let them handle it, they have very good lawyers and they are at no cost for you. Unless you are not happy with the EEOC and have a lot of money, you should stay witth the EEOC.
