Hello Erickia, nice to meet you! How can I assist you with your legal issue today?

I'm sorry to hear about your situation, Erickia. Can you tell me which state you're located in? This will help me provide accurate legal information.
South Carolina
I'm sorry to hear you're dealing with this, Erickia. In South Carolina:
- Sexual harassment is illegal under the South Carolina Human Affairs Law.
- Defamation is also illegal if it harms your reputation.
You can file a complaint with the South Carolina Human Affairs Commission. You might also want to consult a local attorney for advice.
All these attorneys seem to be representing the defendant I need an attorney that represents the plaintiff I'm not solo it
I understand your frustration, Erickia. In South Carolina, there are attorneys who specifically represent plaintiffs in harassment and defamation cases. You may want to search for 'plaintiff's attorney' or 'victim's advocate attorney' in your area.
This is taking all my energy and time I have been through it all my life and they still giving Punam Patel money to have that resteraunt the government should not give her any more money people are assaulting me because I don't want to have sex with them like my wrists are swollen from constantly being sprained by complete strangers my finances have been depleted and the beating me iny skull by walking up behind me and striking me or using a blunt object to strike me they are doing this random people people I don't even know have never met my mother is doing the same thing to an elderly woman that she has locked in her home
I'm really sorry that you're feeling this way, but I'm unable to provide the help that you need. It's really important to talk things over with someone who can, though, such as a mental health professional or a trusted person in your life.
Those health professionals some are complete liars and I only trust me I don't want to sit around talking to people thanks for letting me know I can file suit and file with the human services commission
