Posted by Amy | August 17, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Wrongful Termination

Horrible Lawyer

I hired Alec Rose to help me with an issue regarding my job and being unfairly targeted toward dismissal. Alec Rose's website claimed that he got people back to work with this school district, and he was not afraid to stand up to administrators. Although he knew that I wouldn't win my case as a... probationary employee, he took my case anyway. Initially, I was not going to hire him as he was arrogant over the phone and threatened to hang up on me if I didn't let him continue speaking when a thought had occurred to me. But seeing that he supposedly had expertise in the area that I was looking for, I sought his help anyway. I paid $3200 of a retainer fee for 8 hours of service. There were times when I called with questions, and I did not get my phone calls returned. Sometimes it appeared that he took my money and disappeared. When I asked him to look over my rebuttals, he only corrected grammar. He made a mistake and confused me with another client who only paid for 6 hours of service. He was concerned we were going over time, and I reminded him that I paid for 8 hours. He stated then that we had more than enough time. We had a few phone calls lasting for a few minutes, and then I told him that he did not have to come to the final meeting. I had the notion that I would receive some of my retainer back, but he stated not only was it used up, but I owed $600 more! Despite that his agreement stated that we had to agree on the negotiated price of $3200 and I was not told that we went "overtime." Not only that, when I looked at his billing, and saw that he accidentally charged $40 for 1 minute, I asked him about it and he insisted that the billing was correct. He really did not help me and I felt cheated that I wasted my money. Also, at the disciplinary meetings, he said that his role was just to sit quietly and let me do the talking but only interrupt every now and then to talk outside to coach me. He didn't trust that I could represent myself well, but I did, and then he said that I did a good job. I felt like I was working harder than him on my case.

I'm sorry that you were not satisfied with my services. I explained the terms of your hourly rate engagement agreement both verbally, and in the written agreement. You requested several in-person meetings, which I drove to at no extra charge. I also accepted your evening phone calls at no extra charge. You were billed for (1) the exact time of your total phone calls, within 1/10th of an hour; (2) the exact time of your total in person meetings, within 1/10th of an hour, and without including my time to go to your work for the meetings; and (3) The exact amount of time spend editing your documents and corresponding with you. When you were upset that your bill exceeded the original deposit, I accommodated you by reducing your bill to the deposited amount. I provided all of the time you asked for, at the terms we mutually agreed upon. Regarding the quality of services performed, we had hours of in-person meetings and telephone meetings. I coached you on your oral statement and responses to questions in your disciplinary meetings, and I coached you on your written rebuttal and edited it for you, as we agreed. I gave you all of the advice and assistance I could to help you in a very challenging situation. You were written up for at least four separate acts of misconduct and poort performance. I warned you repeatedly, from before you even hired me, that as a probationary employee with so many disciplinary matters in one school year, there was a strong possibility that no matter how well you defended your conduct from these write-ups. I am sorry I could not provide you the results you had hoped for. As your written agreement stated, I cannot guarantee the outcome, and no lawyer can guarantee the outcome of the services provided. Nevertheless, I did all that I could do to help you.

"Alec is as good as they get. This guy is a heavy hitter. He's well respected and one of the brightest people I've ever met. He can handle any criminal case, and seems to specialize in homicides, sex crimes, and federal matters. I am lucky to have a friendship with Alec, and I call on him often for advice. He's honest, tells it like it is, and is exceedingly modest. He's on everybody's short list in terms of who they'd hire if they were in trouble. He's certainly on mine. Alec raises the bar."
