Beware

Contacted Madeline the end of 2023 after filing a OCRC after viewing all my documents she decided represent me. Fast forward the OCRC investigator contacted me regarding my case due to the fact the he never received any documentation from Madeline I provided him with some documentation which resulted... in him offering me the right to sue I informed her of the right to sue letter that was in the process of being prepared and she advised me to reject the right to sue whatever reason both her and the investigator did not see eye to eye so he not only took back the right to sue and also close my case. A month later she told me that she don't no if she can represent me which later turned into I will not represent me a 4 months til the deadline to file my case. I was out of over 1200 dollars no right to sue letter and the OCRC closing my case. Even after she tried to right her wrong by contacting the regional administrator but it was to late. However read the firm contract it states that they are not obligated to work for you but they will tell you they will represent you then change they mind after they got the funds they needed and it's close to filing a case they will literally get as much money from you then inform you that they can't represent you. My retainer fee will go towards her emailing telling me to send paperwork that she will never intend on using. And lastly the first time she seen me I don't think she expected me to be African American she looked very uncomfortable she literally did not want to stand near me the whole interaction was so weird she apologized with a follow up emailed by that time I was over it and her.
