Posted by anonymous | December 06, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Arbitration

Simply does not listen.

During an Arbitration he failed to hear key points that I had to ask him did he hear, in short, no he did not. His one on one time was horrible (preparation didn't happen one on one face to face until the day before Arbitration) and he was very forgetful at times. To be honest I needed him to make s...tatements on my behalf for the record because I knew the Arbitration was a wash from the time all lawyers walked out the room for a quick meet and the Arbitrator started making small talk with the Director, who knew from day one he was going to fire me regardless. In Hindsight I wish I never hired him. Very nice guy but way over-confident and he just didn't have the patience to do proper prep face to face and take some direction. A few thousand more I could have hired a specialist who won prior cases but it was too late. The money was gone and 9 years later I just now have enough money to sue the old job who pretty much conspired amongst a group to remove me. Can't really say more publicly do to an upcoming case to make this right, but please don't take what I say alone. Don't make the mistake I did. Do your homework first and look up case files with the right lawyers name attached. A took on Denis because a co-worker used him and this is not a good idea, especially if he is friends with the Jobs lawyer (who he under-estimated) that is coming after you. I don't say that with Malice but it is what it is. If Denis is all you can afford just remember, you get what you pay for, and once the bill is due, you to pay him win or lose regardless if he hypes you up and says he is going to save your job. Be careful. Life decisions when picking a lawyer have lasting affects financially and mentally.
