I'm A Non-party Witness In An Ongoing Wrongful Termination Case And The Plaintiff Included Deeply Private And Irrelevant Information About Me In A Filing
Location: California
Hi all, I am a non-party witness in an ongoing wrongful termination case in which the plaintiff was fired for sexually harassing and traumatizing me. He filed the wrongful termination case on grounds unrelated to the sexual harassment complaint that HR acted on, but it came out in discovery.
In a recent filing, the Plaintiff included deeply private, inappropriate, and irrelevant information about me, and I would like to find a CA lawyer to assist in having this sealed if they feel that would make sense. The defense is acting on the interests of the company, not mine, and promised they would file to have it sealed and agreed that it was highly inappropriate but they have not done so (and I have a very strong feeling they will not) and the clock is ticking to have it sealed.
I don't want to provide further detail than that because I am trying to be careful here. I tried calling several employment law attorneys today as well as the California Bar referral service but given the time sensitive nature of the matter, I am getting very scared that I will not be able to find someone quickly enough to assist in this.
Does anyone have any advice for finding a lawyer immediately to speak with regarding this time sensitive matter? Finding lawyers on google is a nightmare because of the way google prioritizes firms that pay to advertise with them and are often not relevant. I tried calling multiple firms today and unfortunately was barking up the wrong tree because they don't handle things like this, or they simply didn't have availability. One firm mentioned a "civil litigation attorney" is what I should be looking for but I just feel lost, very scared, and need help. I'm not asking for direct referral here, just looking for how to best quickly find a lawyer in an emergency situation like this where there is limited time to do something about this and it is deeply damaging to my mental health.
Thanks all for reading
TL;DR: need lawyer fast and can't figure out how to find one quickly on this very specific thing.
