Elaine L. Fitch

I’ve turned to them on a few occasions for legal counsel on an employment issue and each time the lawyers at the firm were very responsive and amazingly helpful. They worked with me to find the right approach to the issue and provided solid legal counsel. They had my back and fought for my rights. Wh...en I need an employment attorney, I will always call KCNF.

I hired this attorney to work on an interrogatory and response to SOR on my firm's recommendation that Elizabeth Newman was the lawyer. Ms. Newman retired, so her colleague took the case instead. After that one thing after another kept going poorly. I'd receive agreements with someone else's retainer... info incompletely removed, both the interrogatory and SOR failed to pass review, the interim drafts given to me had errors, lapses in logic, and spelling mistakes that I had to put upways of >10 hours a week to fix so we wouldn't respond with nonsensical content. If I brought it up, this lawyer was argumentative and defensive, and she spent time trying to prove herself correct instead of working on my case. She ultimately billed the time she spent defending her poor work quality back to me as well. She didn't know what a written interrogatory was when I first received it, and I found the definition in a book online that she and Ms. Newman supposedly wrote, which means she didn't write that portion. I found her knowledge of clearances and strategies lacking. I've hired a different firm and the difference is night and day in both quality and knowledge. She may be ok as an employment lawyer, but I wouldn't come here for a clearance-related matter.

I cannot say enough positive things about Attorney Fitch. If you have a work issue and you want a hardworking, dependable, knowledgeable, and responsive Attorney, call Attorney Fitch. Even though my case continued for over a year, Attorney Fitch was able to recall dates and specific situations that... I had forgotten. If I emailed her with a question or concern, she was extremely responsive and always answered my question within a few hours if not sooner. Attorney Fitch was extremely organized and supportive throughout my situation and I honestly would have had a difficult time getting through the process if it had not been for Attorney Fitch. I have and will continue to recommend her to friends and colleagues. Attorney Fitch is extremely knowledgeable with cases regarding the federal government and whistleblower retaliation as well.

Elaine is a great attorney, after working with her you will quickly see why she was made Partner in the Firm. Her knowledge on Government Issues is outstanding, and will cover area's you may have never thought of. She kept me well informed during the whole process, so that trust was never an issue. i...f anyone is facing a situation with a government agency, I would highly recommend Elaine Fitch and her Firm to exceed all your expectations!

Elaine and the KCNF Firm is extremely professional. They are very knowledgeable about sexual harassment/discrimination cases, especially with regard to the federal government. They have great strategies to approach the case so that it is in the best interest of their client. My case lasted 3 years ...and I will admit that these 3 years were some of the most personally emotional, exhausting, depressing and overall trying times of my life and that of my families lives. If I/we had not had Elaine and her staff at KCNF on our team I am not sure I/we would have had the confidence and strength to have continued with our case for that long and seen it through to the end. In fact, I think that the government drags their feet with all the red tape - taking such a long time - so that people in this position will either run out of personal strength or money…or both. However, in my situation, with Elaine and her team’s counsel and representation, we preserved and in the end prevailed. YES I WON!!! The government actually admitted fault. How is that for a great attorney/firm. Elaine and team were successful in getting their opponent, who originally denied everything, to actually admit fault. While I felt the fees at KCNF were high - they were worth every penny. If you need counsel/representation with this type of situation – Elaine & her team of Attorneys at KCNF are hands down who you want, who YOU NEED, on your team.
