I am told not too many lawyers want to tackle the challenging world of stress, depression, anxiety, and other mental problems that are directly due to the work place or that envronment. Are these cases unwinnable regardless the amount of evidence brought to the table. My friends, relatives co-workers and anyone who knew me for any length of time know that I'm not the same man. Something happened to so drastically change me. I am a service connected military veteran but there's never been any illness like this before, during or after my 27 year environment. I don't think PTSD can show up this long after the first gulf war or from any of the numerous exercises since. I do carry a burden of leaving my unit (101st Airborne Division G2 Operations Officer) due to an injury that would take a year to recover so they chose not to do the surgery in theatre. I have always carried this burden of guilt because I was a Captain at the time. But everybody carries baggage so I never saw this as out of the norm. There are other things such as a suicide that took place in my complany when I was the commander. I've pretty much blocked that out. There are others that I'd rather not go into. Each soldier has a tale to tell and I'm no different. I guess, since I've never asked the question I didn't worry about the answer. I went by the advice that if you can't stand the answer don't ask the question. Well enough whining for now as I'm just rambling, part of one of the symptoms I'm struggling with. It is difficult what the cause was. I am very familiar with the effect. My apologies again for writing too much but I do want to get well and become a productive member of society as I always have been to this point. Please help with the legal advise as I've never done anything like this in the past. Thank all of you. Tim Is this something that would be taken on contingency?

Just discussing this with you now and talking to a lawyer here. The lawyer here did not get all the facts from me as we discussed other issues. I don't believe any of this came up. Our discussion centered on the probability of winning a case against my employer for creating a hostile work environment or assigning me work that really should have been done by someone much more junior, a claim that manager admitted to. We discussed ethical issues where my old mgr provided untrue damging info.
