Stephen A. asked
I was discharged from the Chicago Police Dept. in 1993 due to racial discrimination. I received an award in 2009 stating I was discharged by racial discrimination, but the award did not correct issues about back pay and pension. At a mediation in 2011, I requested reinstatement and for my records to reflect retirement in good standing with full rights and benefits. My attorney recently informed me that the city's lawyers would not reinstate me but would put the award in my personal jacket, and I am entitled to pension despite drawing down money in 1994. I believe they don't want to reinstate me because it would require them to allow me to replace the money and receive my pension. What they have offered does nothing to make me whole. I need the NAACP to step in and get involved in this ongoing racial discrimination. In my opinion, this is a 'HATE CRIME' and a conspiracy to continue the original systematic racial discrimination and defy the court's ruling. What would you like to know?

I lost a small claims court case for approximately $2200. Within 35 days, a restraining order was placed on my account for double the amount. I tried to contact the creditor's attorney to arrange payment and release, but he hasn't responded. Can he place the same restraining order on any other brokerage or bank account? What should the release say to ensure he cannot collect again? Will he put a lien on my house?

I'm trying to sue an employer for wrongful termination. I've been working for him for almost 8 years under the table, and I can prove employment. He wrongfully evicts tenants and makes me clean and remove their belongings. When a tenant claims something is missing, he makes me pay for it out of my pay. He's also had me lie on the stand in small claims court for him. Now, after refusing to illegally move a tenant's belongings, he fires me. I am also one of his tenants. What legal actions can I take?

I was denied disability benefits, and my lawyer did not fight for me in court. Now, the lawyer has released themselves from my case and won't file an appeal for me. I have many health issues and need a lawyer who will fight for me and file my appeal. Can you help me?
