Generous with his advice and time.
I called Mr. LaSorsa to explore a complicated employment problem. He asked excellent questions and seemed to really be able to unpack the injustice occurring. He gave sound advice and helped prioritize next steps. He was very generous with his time and respectful of my situation.

Replied last February 03, 2026He doesn't get to determine which cases I take hourly or contingent-- I do. Most peopel who claim to have DONE ALL THE HEAVEY LIFTING, have no idea what they are talking about. I will say this, if this person actually has a good case, lawyers would be lined up around the block to take it on contingency fee basis. The fact that they aren't should speak to his case. Also people who post anonymously are suspect. I don't even know if I spoke with this person as I have no idea who it is.
