        "text": "You should consult an employment discrimination attorney as soon as you suspect you are experiencing discrimination. Timelines for filing claims can be strict, often starting from the date of the discriminatory act. An attorney can help you understand your rights, evaluate the strength of your case, and guide you through the initial steps, such as filing a complaint with the appropriate government agency like the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH). Early consultation helps preserve your options and evidence.",
