I'm not sure I'd go to the Atty. Gen. Instead, I would first contact a lawyer who is well versed in the labor issues of Florida. If you choose to seek redress by yourself, contact the Labor Department.
Believe me, I am not dismissing what you've said about your terrible experience. However, harassment is a tricky issue. Normally, for harassment to exist, the victim has to be in a protected class, i.e. Title VII Civil Rights Act. As examples, it has to be flagrant - A supervisor saying "I hate Catholics and won't promote them,", or, if you are a member of a protected class (barring a flagrant example), you have to show that other members of your class are also harassed. Sadly, being a jerk while being a boss isn't illegal.
