Posted by Fatimah | September 16, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Discrimination

we did not continue until the end of the case.

Because my case is sensitive I paid close attention in terms of whom should I hire for this case. When I met with Milica and did consultation I decided to go a head in my case with her. I was right in taking that decision because during the entire process and interaction with her I felt comfortable w...ith her in terms of professional and personal aspects. She is knowledgeable, committed, understanding, compassionate, and respectful and knows what she is doing. I can tell from several situations that she went out of her way to provide help and assistance while it was fine if she did not do that. There is an incident where I faced discrimination and because of her interference the people involved in that matter collected themselves and went back in their judgment. There is a time where she made a call outside of her working hours just to comfort me. She is reachable and approachable. You feel safe with her, moreover, you feel your case matters and you matter as well. With her you are Not just a pocket of money but you are a human being as well. She was Not just a great attorney but also a great human being which is very important for me. That is why I’m wondering why she left my case at the middle leaving me helpless and out of choices since I already paid and cannot select another attorney but I have to continue with whoever was there even if that is uncomfortable for me or does not reflect my personal choice. Again, I deliberately selected her out of many attorneys out there after meeting with her and with others. So, leaving me in the middle does not look like her or reflect my experience with her. That is why I feel very very disappointed and I deserve at least some sort of explanation :( why she left my case while she was the only person I trusted with my case. She deserves five for her extraordinary work and constant effort and humanitarian treatment however the only reason I gave her four instead of five is because she unexpectedly did not continue with me which left me stuck without too many options. My case matters for me and I felt it matters for her, as I’m one of her clients. At the end I hope her the best, though I’m the one who unfortunately left disadvantaged.

Dear Fatimah, I am so sorry that I wasn't able to get a hold of you. I had attempted to call you before my departure but was unable to reach you. I wanted to let you know that I am so sorry that you are not happy with who has taken over your case and that the matter was completely out of my hands. Your contract was with the firm and my former boss closed her firm. I looked for another job, and at my current law firm, we do not practice the type of law that I was helping you with, so I was not able to bring client's with me. I tried to contact all of the client's before I left, and sent each of you letters, however, once the firm was closed and I was at this new location, there was no possible way that I could have gotten in communication with you. I was told your case was transferred to another very competent attorney to finalize the services you paid for. It truly was out of my hands and I in no way ever imagined that you would be unhappy with who took over your case.
