I think I need a lawyer...not sure where to start

I've tried reconciling compensation issues at work for almost a year...emails, conference calls have got me nowhere!

I think I need to secure the services of a lawyer who specializes in employee rights, but I'm not sure where to start.

I don't think I'll be able to pursue this in small claims court; $ is too high.

I'm just afraid that lawyer consultation fees may end up costing more than the compensation I'm trying to recover. I'm assuming that if I sue my company, I'll also be out a job.

Anyone have any experience with this?



I'm besides myself. I liked my job, but it's hard to keep on doing a good job when you feel your being treated unfairly.

Anyone?

Can you clarify a bit on the issue? Are you not being paid the same as other people doing the same exact job? What kind of proof do you have?

In the end, I hate to say it --- but often the best way to change your situation is by walking out the door to another job. Unless this is a case of unquestionable discrimination, you may be marking yourself a trouble maker which could cause you trouble down the line...

YUCK!!! SO sorry you have to deal with this!
