More details to this question:
My supervisor repeatedly intimidate me, insulting me verbally dehumanizing or belittling me infront of everybody enough to create interference on my performance to chart at work. She always say when she sees me, "go home why are you still staying 8 or 9 o'clock". I stayed for a reason to finish my documentation even if she remove the time that I over stay so she will not pay me, I still want to finish it.

It might be a good idea to first complain to HR before brining an attorney. This depends on how sympathetic you feel HR might be, or if you feel comfortable enough to do this on your own. If so, then:
First thing you should do is created a detailed summary of the things that have been done to you and the dates this occurred. Once you have this prepared, you should inform HR or a higher manager about what is being said to you and what is being done to you by this supervisor.
If you think that the supevisor is doing this to you based on race, gender, national origin, etc. or retaliation for something you may have complained about, then there may be a legal action you can take. You should also mention that to the HR person.
If things do not improve immediately, a lawyer can then take action
