Omar Vincent Melehy

This firm is creative, responsive, empathetic, tough on opposition, thorough, detailed, super clever, and compassionate. They fight hard for their clients. Highly recommend for anyone with an employment law/discrimination issue! Omar and Suvita, the senior partners, stuck with me during the entire... process. Omar communicated regularly which meant a great deal — I have seen lawyers that go long stretches where the client hears nothing. Even though Omar had much bigger cases to tackle, he made me feel like I was his most important priority. Omar gave me his full commitment throughout the process. I never had a moment of disappointment or frustration with Omar as my lawyer. He and Suvita are both trustworthy and honorable. We entered a reasonable settlement; I did not want to head into discovery. Last thought: even the firm’s paralegals are impressively skilled and kind! Thank you so much Melehy & Associates.

After much delay on the referral through a prepaid legal service, I was assign to him regarding my EEO case against a government agency. The problem is he was more interested in nickel and diming me to death. My initial consultation with my discount costs $250 for 30 minutes of his time. The agency... suddenly ghosted me after giving me a tentative job offer and then reannounced the job opening. While he did not agree it was discrimination, he thought that I had a case because the agency did not make a suitability determination. He was supposed to let me know what the law said regarding that but never did. He concluded with him telling me to let him know what the EEO investigation concluded. After the EEO investigation was completed where I determined a suitability determination had not been made and the case could potentially be discrimination, I called him back. He wanted another $250 to discuss without having completed the first consultation. I saw what he was doing and passed. I did not have time to find another attorney and had to go to the settlement hearing without representation. The agency did end up settling with me. He ended up screwing himself over in the end because had he represented me without the games we both could have made more money off the case.
