I lost $7,500.00 to this lawyer and my case was never finished. If I DID get to see her personally, she could have been nicer.

I filed a lawsuit against my employer for violation of my rights under the ADA and the FMLA.I did exactly what Ms. Agola told me to do, such as write a timeline (which is 27 pages long), worked diligently on evidence against my employer, and when she was suspended, I had only seen her personally 3 ti...mes in 2 1/2 years. Every time I called her office I noticed that there was a significant turnover in her employees leading me to believe that she must be impossible to work with.

BAD ATTORNEY

Ms. Agola promised to represent us in 2011, but failed us on every level. Dead lines were missed. The staff changed over weekly, so no one had a straight answer. We were blindsided in our mediation because she was not prepared. My real problem with all of this was……."How is someone REALLY protect...ed from a bad lawyer?" Ultimately, the person's case goes down the drain and all the money spent on Not being represented is LOST". Can someone please answer that question?

Do Not hire she isn't trustworthy and is deceitful

Ms. Agola told me a lot of lies about my case and suggested that I lie about the extent of my work place harassment. I wouldn't do that so she said my case wouldn't do so well if there wasn't a little more "dirt" to tell. I don't see why she would want me to lie about it. Unless it was to get money... for herself. But I can understand, from my dealings with her, why she is suspended.. She is not someone who should continue to practice law.

Christina Agola

I hired Christina at a very high fee but I was under the impression she was a successful attorney who fought aggressively for her clients. Before my case was settled she sent me my file and told me she could no longer represent me due to her suspension. I am not at fault for her unprofessional cond...uct which led to her suspension but not I am without an attorney and if my case goes to trial I will have to hire another attorney. I submitted a letter with an explanation of my circumstances to the attorney grievance committee asking for partial reimbursement since she didn't follow through with my case.

Posted by anonymous | January 10, 2014 | Libel & Slander

Slanderous, completely unethical, unprepared

Ms. Agola consistently fabricates evidence, conversations, facts, and statements. I was the unwitting object of her slander when she represented someone in my neighborhood, and for reasons unknown, she mentioned me in her lawsuit. What she wrote about me, and others, was disgusting, untrue, and c...ompletely unrelated to the case. She should be ashamed of herself. What kind of person publicly humiliates innocent bystanders with false information, for no reason?
