Attorney Unresponsive!

I had previously retained this attorney for an employment discrimination case. The process was slow but he did manage to secure a small settlement for me. However, when I tried to reach out to this attorney with a couple of additional discrimination cases he ignored my messages and I ended up just ha...ving to communicate with his receptionist and other staff. I understand that I am being treated in this way mainly due to my socio-economic status, but if he was no longer interested in working with me he should have had the professional courtesy to at least tell me that directly instead of just ignoring my messages. No client deserves to be treated in this way even if they are struggling and happen to be disadvantaged. Long story short I am going to be taking my business elsewhere.

This person, who was not even a client of the firm’s at the time, called the office on March 13th, a Friday, with a non-urgent employment matter while I was away on a very rare vacation with my family. My office was immediately responsive to her, on March 13th, and informed her that I was out of the office. Apparently, she demanded an immediate response from me. I got back to her immediately on Monday morning, March 16th, when I returned to the office. I tried to explain to her, as follows: “Please note that I was not ignoring you in any way, and I do not know why you would assume so. I just learned that you contacted the firm on Friday, while I was away on a very rare vacation with my family, as I get very little time off.” This must not have been acceptable to her, as per the above. I am hopeful that people would understand that there may a very few days per year that I cannot be immediately responsive to non-urgent matters, simply because I value and prioritize quality time with my family on the very rare occasions that I can take such time.

Effective Attorney

Mr. Moriarty was a very effective attorney in his handling of my case. He was very prompt with providing advice and solutions to resolve my case. Also, he was very patient in dealing with me as English is my second language and at times difficult to express myself. I recommend this attorney for an...y legal needs. Yo recomiendo al Senor Moriarty, quien fue mi abogado, por su profesionalismo y entendimiento de mi caso.
