Discrimination
1. 1/2 hour wait time even though appt. time was set. 2. Mr. Ehrlich was in a hurry constantly trying to speed up the process of short (17min) consultation. 3. Very impatient even answering my questions. Even though I was prepared for this consultation he would still appear very fidget and unpleas...
A client should feel 100% comfortable with the attorney she is going to retain. So if a prospective client believes or feels that I was not patient or thinks I "sighed" too much, then she should most definitely find someone with whom she is more comfortable. While I fully respect and support this client's decision to hire another attorney, I do not agree with her description of what she claims occurred and must respectfully disagree with this review. There are times that I cannot see a client at the appointed time because a prior client arrived late, I required additional time to review a prior client’s case, or I was on the phone handling an important and pressing matter with another client. 30 Minutes late is not common but it has happened on occasion due to circumstances beyond my control. I also respectfully disagree with the other complaints that were raised. I typically allow for a 30 minute appointment, and within that time frame, I fully and carefully answer questions any client asks that are related to her case. If there is no one waiting for me, I will go a little beyond that 30 minute time frame if necessary. I reviewed my detailed notes of my meeting with this client which lasted more than the 17 minutes she believes I gave her. My notes contain all the relevant details from that meeting and list 3 potential legal claims that I noted and discussed with the client. I also took notes about the reasons the employer (falsely) claimed were the reason for terminating this client. I do recall that this client wanted to go through each of those issues as alleged by the employer in more detail, but I had more than enough information from the client at the time to understand how and why she felt these performance complaints were unjustified and false. I am sorry for whatever I did that gave this perception to this client but I would not have these details in my notes if I had acted the way this person claims.
