Legal Question in Employment Law in California

In 2008 I filed a hostile work environment claim against my employer. In March of 2009, I resigned after 19 years due to "Constructive Discharge." I didn't know it was constructive discharge until after I resigned. At the time, I was isolated by my co-workers, called dumb, slow and stupid. I began suffering from depression and was losing sleep. At one point, my desk had been broken into while I was on vacation and papers strewn all over my desk. I had numerous 'bad' supervisors and I complained to upper management to no avail. They would only refer me to EAP and treated me as though I had a problem. Nevertheless, I currently do not have legal representation because I have spent all of my savings, etc. The administrative judge assigned to my case has encouraged both sides to settle the case, I have contacted the atty. for my former employer and so far they only want to offer me disability (depression). I want them to be reprimanded. Should I continue to try to settle w/o an attorney or let the judge rule on the case?
