Mr. Crispin assisted me out of a bad employment contract, but I had to repeat myself many times in our communications. The opposing counsel was told they were in a penalty period, reducing our payment. Items I requested to be negotiated were not, and I was not advised on the legality of an action I... took and the risk it may pose. The last communication I received was one to address something from the opposing counsel that had been sent two weeks prior to his email to me and allowed to go ignored. For all I paid I do not feel it was worth paying for legal services given the lack of action.

Mr. Crispin was unable to review my document. Charges 500.00 + per hour. I was not looking only into documentation review but also see if I had a Harassment/Discrimination case. In addition when one gets terminated one does not receive "severance". I have found another lawyer willing to read my doc...s.

We hired Craig on the basis of ratings, recommendations and the strength of his representations during the first meeting. He seemed honest, well versed in the law, and tenacious and aggressive. Originally he was taking the case on a contingency basis but then suggested we pay hourly as it would likel...y be settled quickly and easily and this would be to our benefit. It was agreed that we would pay hourly during negotiations and then switch to contingency if we ended up filing in court. We trusted his expertise. When negotiations failed Craig first said that we would skip filing a Labor & industries (BOLI) claim, then changed his mind. He told us to expect to lose with BOLI but we might get good research from them, then we would file in court. We did lose at BOLI, then had trouble getting responses from Craig. During this entire time we were billed and paid his full rates. At the 11th hour he returned a call and informed us that he was not interested in going forward with the case. When asked what had changed since first taking our case, he couldn't provide a responsive answer. All the facts discovered were exactly as we told him at the outset. Our costs were significant and sadly our trust was misplaced.
