Replied last July 27, 2020I'm not sure who you are. I have never met with a potential client named "Jim" before, and I don't know what advertisement you are talking about. I've never purchased an advertisement. I take on many cases that most lawyers will not, however, I do turn clients away, even ones who have suffered grievous wrongs, when the law does not provide an avenue for monetary recovery. There are many times, especially when the State is the defendant, that the law provides no recourse. Litigation is extremely expensive, and I feel it is not ethical to take money from a client when I think there is no likelihood for success in a case. I am in fact, quite fluent in employment law, and would be happy to look at your case(s) again (or for the first time) and provide a written analysis of its strengths and weaknesses.

Very Helpful. Highly Recommend.
Mr. Poreda helped me with an employment issue. I found him to be very helpful. He was patient and took the time to explain things to me thoroughly. He seems very knowledgeable and I would highly recommend him.
