While everyone is entitled the freedom of choice to file pro-se (represent yourself) or to seek someone without a law degree to help you with your EEOC civil rights discrimination, the legal assistance in my opinion will help you to more likely lose your EEOC civil rights discrimination claim, then to win.
This non-licensed legal assistance you found, is not entitled to attorney fee’s if you somehow win your case.
Attorney’s fees
Attorney’s fees are only allowable for the services of:
- Members of the Bar
- Law clerks
- Paralegals
- Law students under the supervision of members of the Bar.
29 C.F.R. § 1614.501(e)(1)(iii). Complainant cannot collect fees for the value of his own time spent processing the complaint.
Therefore, after a careful review of the record, including arguments and
evidence not specifically discussed in this decision, the Commission
modifies the agency’s final decision and orders the agency pay
complainant compensatory damages in accordance with this decision and
the ORDER below.
