My question involves labor and employment law for the state of:
So long story short I filed a Claim of discrimination/Harassment with the Florida Commission on Human Relations. Its in the process of being investigated after they excepted my claim. The complaint was sent to the employer and responded with papers from their lawyer defending their stance. At the end of the paperwork they state that they feel the case should be dropped and be "awarded its attorney's fees". This isnt even a suit, just a complaint. How can these people ask for such a thing. I talked to the investigator for the FCCHR and he told me he didn't think they could do this, nor has he seen this. Is this illegal or right?
Please help, I cannot afford a lawyer and do not know what to do at this point. I do not want to go down some lengthy situation where they are using their lawyers resources to the point where I could be responsible in the end.
Thank you,
Confused
