CONDITIONS OF REVIEW: The following RESPONSE DOES NOT CONSTITUTE LEGAL ADVICE, but merely provides a general discussion of basic legal principles. This communication is not intended as, and should not be construed as �legal advice.� It is impossible to provide a complete evaluation of your legal issue in this limited forum.

DO NOT TAKE ANY ACTION BASED ON THIS RESPONSE OTHER THAN TO PRESENT THE FACTS OF YOUR CASE TO A COMPETENT, LICENSED ATTORNEY IN YOUR JURISDICTION.

By proceeding to review the response below, you agree that the response is not intended to, nor does it create any attorney-client relationship. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH OR UNDERSTAND THE FOREGOING CONDITIONS PLEASE DO NOT REVIEW THE RESPONSE PROVIDED.

What a travesty! You have some options, the most obvious one being to hire an attorney to file suit against the establishment.

Before doing so, however, I suggest that you give the owner of the establishment an opportunity to make a public apology to both you and your fianc�, and to compensate you for the abuse you endured. They may or may not be inclined to deal with you directly, and willing to settle the matter without involving attorneys.

But if you get no cooperation or an unreasonable settlement offer, retain legal counsel!

You can get a lawyer and, depending on the facts, sue for any damages you, your fiancee and your friend might have sustained.
