Receiving a negative review is always a difficult part of providing legal services to individuals who are experiencing very difficult circumstances within the workplace. In my years of practice and over 90+ positive reviews across various review sites, no one has ever stated that I am unprofessional or that I have a questionable work ethic. It is even harder for us to address the concerns of the individual when they choose to be Anonymous in writing such a negative review. In my years of practice, no one has ever said the things that this person has stated and clearly they didn't even work with me so I have no clue why they reviewed me this way. At no point did this individual ever reach out to me directly regarding any of the concerns they had; they never gave us an opportunity to even know what was on their mind regarding their experience working with the assigned attorney from our firm. Representation in an employment case is a collaborative effort between an attorney and client- when a client does not cooperate in providing us a timeline of the events that they dealt with, it is difficult for us to do our job. Revisions, edits, and what is relevant is a collaborative effort between both the attorney and client. Addressing the reviewer's main points: 1) We would have never taken their case unless we were interested in pursuing it. We reject cases everyday. I'd love to see the emails that went unanswered. We have a strict policy of responding within 24 hours and I would want to address this if this is true. 2) A case being botched indicates much more than carelessness. We have no cases that have been botched so I am really unsure how to address this. Routinely a client would like to add in every detail of their situation but as professionals we are trained to guide them in keeping things relevant for the Judge/Hearing Officers so that they do not drown the facts that matter. Revisions taking over a month is certainly unacceptable, especially when they are minor, so clearly something doesn't make sense here. 3) We have received no notice from this person or any other attorney taking their case or anyones for that matter at our firm. If this person would like to have a conversation about their concerns, I would be happy to speak to them to address their concerns. Our livelihoods are dependent on how our clients assess our services so we take this very seriously and we will do anything to help this person address their concerns. If you hired us you should at least give us an opportunity to do our job and if we dropped the ball, I will be the first to acknowledge it and work to correct it.
