Legal Question in Employment Law in Georgia

I feel I am being harassed at work due to gender discrimination. My co-worker has been going after me since I had questioned him on an invoice that he had submitted and since then he has tired intemidation, rude comments about me being a woman, to know being tracked by the person on my days off. I had been told that he was calling the President of the company and telling him I have only been working 4 hours a day, which I was going to the tag office first thing each morning to process customer's title work, I have since stopped doing this, our tag clerk has opted to mail them directly to the tag office. I was also in physical therapy due to a fracture on a vertebrae in my lower back. I had stopped therapy and asked my doctor to refer me to an orthopedic doctor so I can have a home TENS unit and do my therapy at home from what I learned from the therapist so I could be at work everyday, so these calls could stop. Then I requested from my supervisor for a day off on 3/18/11 and it was approved by him. Come back to work the following week I am told by another co-worker that I was being tracked. I then had a sick feeling in my stomach, seeing the new lengths the man was now going to. I then logged on to the passtime website and put in the serial # to the device linked to the unit I had been driving, and there they were, 19 locates done on me that day. I have brought these issues up to the powers that be in my company there response was to immediately ban all employee's from driving units, anyone caught driving one will be immediately terminated, also that very same day my rights to log into passtime had been taken away as well as my access to my company email. My GM emailed our IT person to advise him of these and he responded he had to reboot the system everyone will be down. which did happen for 2 seconds and everyone was back in but me and my GM. Finally I was given a reset password to access my email once again, upon getting back in, I had found that my file that I assigned to the President of the company, emails had been deleted. I then tried to change my password from the reset one and could not do so, I then email our IT person and ask why I could not. Then I was kicked out of my email and lost access again. I still have not been able to access my email, they also have taken another co-worker email away. I feel that they a now do this out of retaliation for bringing my concerns to their attention, I also feel that they are straticly taking a second persons away to show I am being punished. I am going to be filing a charge with EEOC. I feel I have been left with no other choice, that is why I am seeking legal council as well. What can I do?

I got about halfway in the story- all those details about email mean nothing in a post here. If you think you have a claim, see an employment lawyer.
