If I am Sexually Harassed or suffer Retaliation, do I need to consult with an attorney or can I just file a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH)?

Call an attorney first!  You do not want to talk about your case with anyone until you have spoken with an attorney.  Anything you tell the EEOC or DFEH can be used against you later.  Sexual Harassment laws are very complicated and you do not want to speak with anyone until you have spoken with an attorney.  The EEOC and DFEH are also overburdened and under-funded and do not always have the resources to vigorously represent everyone that contacts them.  California Legal Team is very selective in the cases we take and we do this so we can devote a substantial amount of resources to every case and leave no stone unturned.
