I am a 100% permanently and totally disabled veteran facing multiple discrimination actions, retaliation, and bullying at my workplace, St. Mary's, which has a history of EEOC complaints and unequal punishment. I am about to sign charges written by my EEOC investigator. Should I seek legal representation, and if so, when? Additionally, should I file a separate claim, and is it advisable to take my case to trial given the severity of my suffering and the potential for punitive damages?

I have a court order for custody, but the other parent has become more hostile and chaotic, causing my son anxiety. I've allowed my son to stay with me more than the court-ordered time due to these issues. What are my rights, and do I need to notify the other parent if I keep my son with me during my allotted time?

My poetry was taken down from a platform because I was being stigmatized for having a mental illness. I haven't broken any rules and I'm very upset about this. What can I do legally to address this situation?

Our landlord kept our $7,200 deposit without returning it due to accusations of damages we did not cause. We have left the property and have tried reasoning with the landlord through letters, but she refuses to refund the deposit and is asking for more money. Her agent did the final walk-through and said 'everything looks great,' but the landlord does not accept this. We do not have before and after pictures, but we have witnesses, including the landlord's former agent, who would testify that the damages were not caused by us. What should we do without spending the same amount on lawyers?

I had a non-work related foot injury, fully recovered, and returned to work as an RN on a busy med-surg floor. After a month, I reinjured my foot due to the demanding work and am now unable to work. I have a full-time job with Lincoln insurance for disability and a part-time job with State disability insurance. Should I claim the injury as work-related, and how should I apply for unemployment benefits from both jobs?
