Good Lawyer

I am very pleased that we didn't even have to go to court. My former employer settled out of court for the amount Alan told me he would go for. I would definitely recommend him to others.

Dedicated and Personable

Mr. Lescht and his staff were very knowledgeable and kept me informed each step of the process. My personal interests and concerns were always considered. I felt like I was a priority and was continuously presented with all the facts so that we as a "team" could make an informed decision to ensure ...the best outcome of the case. Highly recommended!

Took the case just to take the case

He did represent me and take the case on contigency he had a good case but put no energy into it. At the depositon hearing he did not instruct me on how to anwer or not answer the defendants questioning or what to expect in that type of hearing. sloppy work with a good case. I ended up going getting ...hired back at the company but had lost all my tenure and any back pay but he made sure he got paid. he got paid 500 bucks and the cause was worth more than that.

DC Practice

After shopping around the DC area for an attorney to discuss a potential claim, I originally chose my consult to be with Mr. Lescht as he was the quickest attorney to get back to me. Per his very specific question in response to my draft statement in addition to prodding from his assistant, Joyce, r...elated to how I had documented my situation and prompted thinking about what I would want once this was brought to court, I was hopeful that I would potentially have a case. Therefore, I decided to pay the rather hefty consult fee. However, within five minutes of the "consult," Mr. Lescht indicated that I definitely did not have a case and proceeded to just informally chat with me. I kept trying to prod him back to the subject of the potential case, yet, it was clear that he did not think I had a case and just tried to get me to leave his office as quickly as possible. An easy $300 for 30 min of chit chat. I didn't even get the full hour. After this exposure in addition to the other law firms that I had contacted, I wish that I had just paid the $195 for phone consult with another law firm or wish that the law firms wouldn't lead me into thinking that I actually had a case. Overall, really unfortunate that I am already extremely frustrated and this exposure to DC attorneys did not appease these emotions.

Worthless

I hired the firm to represent me in an EEO case after the consultation. The consultation went great with Mr. Lescht making all sorts of glowing claims such as early retirement and settlements. That's where it ended. After that every correspondence was initiated by me. No effort whatsoever was put int...o my case. When I continually asked the question of what was being done I was told nothing could be done until the EEO hearing. There was no leverage. Well, what happened to the early retirement and settlements? In 6 months not one thing was ever done on my case nor was I contacted unless I reached out first. Questions were answered with responses that made it clear my case had never been reviewed such as when asked if some effort could be made for settlement prior to the hearing I was told the reason nothing had been done was they didn't know who to contact. I was floored. The attorney's name was in the ROI. Then I was told they were sure my agency would not offer a monetary award but might support a disability claim. YOU DON'T NEED AGENCY SUPPORT to file a disability claim. The whole experience was a waste of time money. I terminated representation as there was no representation.
