This review unfortunately reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of what the EEOC does. The EEOC is free, yes, but they extremely rarely will ever represent you in court and generally cannot make a binding ruling on the case. Basically, the EEOC simply issues a right to sue your employer after looking at the case. I make a point to tell all of my clients constantly, from the initial consultation, through the required EEOC process (as applicable), and am correct to remind them how lengthy and expensive litigation really is. As a complete surprise to me, this person decided to drop the case just before filing suit because it finally seemed to sink in what this person was getting themselves into, apparently having tuned out all my previous warnings. This person also never explained the reason or complained before. It is unfortunate that I am blamed for this person's independent judgment and lack of understanding of the EEOC process.
