It's kind of unfair to the attorneys on here that, due to the confidentiality issues, we really can't defend ourselves adequately. But that's understood and I take the bad with the good. What I will say is that much of my job is telling people who don't understand labor law, what they don't want to hear. The law unfortunately usually doesn't care 'what kind of person you are.' The perception of your shortcomings becomes the reality because the judge, jury, etc., have to rule on your case at the end of the day based on what the evidence shows and not your personal feelings. There's no way any attorney can find out the ultimate truth of your case in just an hour with you. But we can certainly develop an impression about your chances. The worst thing any attorney could do to you is not be honest with you, even to the point of being blunt. Telling you what you didn't want to hear may have just saved you many thousands of dollars in attorneys' fees.
