The company's lawyer might represent you too. Find out. Second, call your homeowners insurance. Sometimes it is covered. Last resort, you need an employment lawyer that does defense work.

Find out if hte company has insurance coverage for this type of claim, and if you are covered. If so, depending on the terms of the policy, the insurer may provide you with an attorney to represent you. If not, and if the company does not offer and/or you are not comfortable having its lawyer represent you also, you should look for an attorney who is experienced in employment law.
