Good Afternoon everyone,
I am a Legal Administrative Assistant in the D.C/MD/VA area, and my current employer, a sole practitioner attorney, has stiffed me on pay in excess of over $10,000. My health insurance has been terminated as of three months ago, and I am about to be evicted from the house I rent from. I am absolutely terrified and don't know what to do.
I spoke to an Employment Attorney and no one will take my case because I am considered an Independent Contractor. The only option I have is Small Claims court, but my biggest problem is that I need my back pay AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I can't imagine how long it will take to get my case through the courts.
I have applied to every and anything on Indeed, Craigslist .. I have tried temp. companies, restaurants, grocery stores, etc -- NO ONE is hiring. I will do ANYTHING to work again, even if it's part time, remote/virtual work, or second/third shifts.
Does anyone happen to know if I have any other options? There was a time when I only had $20 to my name and that was a very dark time in my life - I don't ever want to go back to that.
Thank you very much in advance!
