If you want results, find yourself another discrimination attorney

In a nutshell: hired this character for a discrimination case against an employer, he took thousands of dollars from me to file an ERD complaint, did not do much of anything but he was very skilled at avoiding me and not keeping me informed for 6 months. The ERD complaint he eventually filed was fu...ll of errors/omissions and was so horrendously late that ERD basically said that my case had no merit.
