We’re being sued for age bias, can’t afford a lawyer and missed a discovery deadline…what do I do?

01/24/2011

Q. I'm the president of a very small import business. We are being sued by an employee for age discrimination and wrongful termination. I don’t have enough money for a lawyer. They filed for summary judgment. First, I know very little about law. I am emotionally frozen. All I could do is supply them with what they requested in discovery. When I filed for my request in discovery, it was too late. Now, when I need the information to support my case, I don't have it. Any suggestions? Anything I can do? – Dave, Arizona
