Within DEC or outside, Jim?

Are you looking for the name of a lawyer or what, Jim? If the person
is a DEC employee and believes s/he has a grievance, s/he should
certainly first exhaust the management remedies available via the
open-door policy.
Only if that process fails to provide satisfaction (and it should be
pursued *vigorously* so that statute-of-limitations problems don't
arise later) should remedies be sought outside via the Mass Comm'n
Against Discrimination (MCAD) or the federal EEOC. If neither of those
agencies considers that the person has a viable complaint --they
basically want something pretty open-and-shut before they'll act, so
most cases get the "no probable cause" finding-- the aggrieved party
can then bring a private lawsuit if desired.
Is that helpful?

You could visit with the EAP group in your area. They'll give a
referral....
