Probably not because there is not enough money in it even if you win. Have you tried the agency internal complaint procedures. My experience is that supervisors are very intimidated by even a whisper of a complaint. Here is web site for DOD procedures, but your agency probably has something similar.

Without details I can't tell what you're asking about.
A harassment issue based on discrimination (race, gender, etc...) would be handled by the EEOC. There's a very short window to submit a claim.
You could also try your state Human Rights Commission. Also a short window to submit a claim.
Be advised that there are federal and state caps on damages now and because of that very few lawyers would be willing to take your case.
So if you're hoping for a windfall, forget it. If you want some resolution to an injustice, contact one or both of the agencies mentioned above.
