Seeking Bulldog Attorney For Harassment Case (Schenectady)

I am a level one SO who is trying to get his life back in order and once again become a productive member of society (though leeching off your tax dollars is nice). I have lost four jobs in two years because of a vigilante who contacts my employers and informs them of my past. The AWA states that it is illegal to do that.

I have emails, employer testimonies and witnesses as evidence. He has gotten friends and relatives to do the same and he has used business computers to send out his hate mail.

I would also like to go after one of the businesses with any possible suit. The "franchise" wanted to keep me but the head office demanded they terminate me. There was a four month management battle with me losing losing my job (there are good people out there). I do not wish to go after the "franchise," just the head office.

A lawyer in CT said I may have a good case going after the "anonymous" vigilante.

I will only reply to lawyers who reply in kind with a phone number and the name of your firm.

((((Sorry, I don't need a Russian bride; I have no empathy for that apocryphal guy in Turkey who needs to find his son; the woman who lost her passport, got hit by a car and needs money to get back to the US- sorry; the insurance company who claims I've inherited 50 million, just send the check; and the person who claims that they've reviewed my credentials within this missive, thanks for the job offer and link to your website but no thanks))).
