Legal Question in Personal Injury in Massachusetts

Should i pursue monetary compensation?

i was kicked out of a college class for interrupting the professor. when i spoke with the dean i was informed the professor had added in an email that i had threatened her, which an entire class will back me, i did not. the dean and i reached a solution for me to be moved to a different class, and this would be the end of the issue. the night i arrive for my new class i am approached by a man. he aggressively pushed my chest with his finger and told me i better watch myself and that he had spread the word about me. when i asked him who he was he replied ''i am her husband and i am in charge around here.'' come to find he is another professor at the college. i refuse to return to school out of fear he may assault or harass me further, or that his statement about putting the word out may mean he has destroyed my name as a student to other professors and this may effect my grades negatively. now i must lose my tuition, and miss an entire semester while lookin for a new school, and the means of which to pay tuition. what should i do?

Retain an attorney to discussion whether you have a cause of action possibly for libel or slander for example. Good Luck!

Speak with an attorney and make sure you have your witnesses lined up and committed to PAPER before going to the courts.

It might be worth having an attorney investigate your case. What is clear is you are not going to get instant results, the law is much different than going into McDonalds, paying your money, and walking out with your sandwich. Good luck. Regards, John Stewart.
