Expert advice for informed decisions
In our estimate, a discrimination or retaliation case that goes past the EEOC takes one to three years: about 10 months at the EEOC on average, 90 days to sue, and a median of 33.7 months to a federal trial, which only 0.5% of civil cases reach. Every stage with the official numbers, what retaliation adds, what speeds a case up, and the state deadlines that start the clock.
