        "text": "The process generally begins with an initial consultation where an attorney evaluates your case. If the case proceeds, the lawyer might first attempt to negotiate with your former employer. If negotiations fail, a formal complaint may need to be filed with an administrative agency, such as the Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) or the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), within strict deadlines. After receiving a 'right-to-sue' letter, a lawsuit can be filed in court. The process can involve discovery, mediation, and potentially a trial.",
