can I file a law suit agains the city because of these
Hi David! It depends on the specific issue you're facing with the city. Could you provide more details about what happened or what the city did that you believe warrants a lawsuit? This will help me give you better guidance.
Discrimination Issue: The city’s lawyer Shawn Mason was very rude to me and I felt discriminated against due to my English proficiency and gender. This discrimination has been ongoing since *. I need advice on how to address this issue, including the possibility of filing a complaint. Behavior of the City Lawyer Shawn Mason: Statements made several times by the city lawyer suggesting that the city is punishing us and using you as an example can be concerning. While it's not illegal per se for a lawyer to make such statements, it may indicate unfair treatment or bias. During my interactions with the city lawyer, I observed a consistent lack of empathy and emotional engagement. The lawyer appeared cold and indifferent, often ignoring the gravity of my situation and my emotional distress. This detached demeanor made it difficult for me to feel understood and supported during this challenging time.
Hey David! Here are some steps you can consider for addressing discrimination issues:
- Document all interactions with the city lawyer, including dates, times, and specific statements.
- File a complaint with the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH).
- Consult with a civil rights attorney for potential legal action.

Financial Distress and Judgment: In *, when I was experiencing financial distress, I contacted the City of San Mateo. They assured me that nothing would happen to us if we transferred the property. We did so, but they sold it at market value, made a profit, and then placed a judgment on us. Now they are demanding double the money, which they did not lose. Impact on Health: I am currently on disability, and this situation is significantly affecting my health. I would like to emphasize this in my request to the City Council to highlight the urgency.

David, it seems like a potentially strong case, especially regarding the financial distress and judgment issues with the City of San Mateo.

I am waiting for the respond from the lawyer who was working with the city of San Mateo: he sent me this: Unfortunately, the city attorney left me a message yesterday that the city council has still not expressed interest in resolving the case with you. I do not know what it would take to get the city to reach an agreement. I do not feel that I can help further at this stage. I would need to charge you much more money to move forward. If you would like to discuss your options, we can meet in person. Best, Joe
