These agencies investigate claims and may attempt mediation. If the agency doesn't resolve the issue, they might issue a 'Right-to-Sue' letter, allowing you to file a lawsuit in court. An attorney can assist in gathering evidence, drafting the complaint, communicating with the agencies, and representing you in negotiations or litigation to seek compensation for damages.",
