Current Federal EEO Case for Disability Discrimination - Failure to Accommodate and Hostile Work Environment

I have always been a skeptic when it comes to attorneys (no offense). I can't talk about my case in any detail but I can tell you how amazing Shaun Yancey has been! He's VERY knowledgeable, intelligent, professional, and on top things! I am probably one of the most needy clients he has ever had to...o! I ask a billion questions at least twice, and had sent him many emails with even more questions! There were days I would call him with the same questions due to anxiety and Mr. Yancey would calm me down and explain the situation again for me. Mr. Yancey always keeps me in the loop, and his letter writing skills to my employer are very direct, strong and professional. I am at complete ease with my current case right now...I am confident that I have the PERFECT lawyer and he's worth every single penny!! He'll email you back within 24 hours, and will usually answer the phone when you call him - unless of course he's in litigation, trial or lunch. I tell him every time we speak that I'm so lucky that I found him and the Melville Johnson Law Firm! I KNOW I'm in good hands! It's not cheap to hire a lawyer, however, I STONGLY recommend you pay hourly and don't do contingency with some other quack lawyer who will probably do a substandard job, and above all, DON'T represent yourself in an EEO case! Get a lawyer out from the gates! Don't wait until right before the hearing! You won't be disappointed with Shaun Yancey...and trust me, I AM a current client right now. He IS AMAZING!!!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
