I met with Stephanie. the other day and we discussed the particulars of my case. She encouraged me to go to the EEOC as she does to everyone and I told her I would follow through. She said once I have been to the EEOC we would send a demand letter and see where that went. It was my full understanding that we had an agreement that she was going to represent me. I have no other reason to indicate that she will not follow through with what she told me. I did not sign anything, but I have sent her documentation for the case. She told me the rate of contingency fee would be 35 percent. I agreed to that and we threw around dollar amounts of what she thought it might possibly be worth at trial or settlement. She said if they booked at the demand letter, then we would necessitate going to trial. I told her I did not think that's it would be as much of a problem because of the amount of evidence that I do have against my former employer. My name is John
Consulted months ago. She said certain conditions were not met yet, when said conditions were met, contact her again and we could advance case. Two months later contacted her office and was put off by assistant. Was given numerous assurances that Stephanie would return my call. After 50 days, 11 calls, emails ,and a few union officials phone calls I finally receive a 3 line response email. 50 days was enough to kill my case due to time constraints.
I met with Stephanie several months ago, paid the fee she requested to hear my employment case of discrimination. She stated she would represent me if I received a Right to Sue letter from the EEOC. When I obtained such documents, after several weeks contacting her, she finally said she would not take my case. No, we did not sign a contract, but a handshake was respectable and morally binding. She did not follow though with our meeting.
