Legal Recommendations, Anyone?

RE: Legal Recommendations, Anyone?
(May 5, 2021 at 11:56 pm)Secular Elf Wrote: I am giving serious consideration in suing a church for harassment.  It involves them continuing to send me their church newsletter after I sent a letter to them requesting them to stop and removing my mailing address from their mailing list, which was back in late March.  I do not know how I got on their mailing list, all I know is I never requested their damn church newsletter. I want a secular freethought lawyer to aid me in this.  I will not be ignored, there will be repercussions for them.  I live in Georgia.  Any recommendations?  Anyone else experienced this before?

dictionary.law.com defines "harassment" this way:

Quote:harassment
(either harris-meant or huh-rass-meant) n. the act of systematic and/or continued unwanted and annoying actions of one party or a group, including threats and demands. The purposes may vary, including racial prejudice, personal malice, an attempt to force someone to quit a job or grant sexual favors, apply illegal pressure to collect a bill or merely gain sadistic pleasure from making someone anxious or fearful. Such activities may be the basis for a lawsuit if due to discrimination based on race or sex, a violation on the statutory limitations on collection agencies, involve revenge by an ex-spouse, or be shown to be a form of blackmail ("I'll stop bothering you if you'll go to bed with me"). The victim may file a petition for a "stay away" (restraining) order, intended to prevent contact by the offensive party. A systematic pattern of harassment by an employee against another worker may subject the employer to a lawsuit for failure to protect the worker.

emphasis added

You'd have to prove to a judge that what they're doing meets these criteria.
