This answer does not constitute legal advice and you should contact an attorney to confirm or research further any statements made in this answer. Any statements of fact or law I have made in this answer pertain solely to Federal law as construed within the EEOC or the laws of New York State and should not be relied upon in any way in any other jurisdiction.
Hi Vince, this was amazing, thanks for taking the time to create the video. Admittedly I think my first attorney was a joke and was just a settlement peddler. My new attorney is a monster and has done some federal litigation which makes me feel as though I’m in good hands. Just hope they settle prior to arbitration but know that is highly unlikely with the favor swinging to the employer in arbitration.
Did you end up getting a settlement? Same exact situation here
The shirt looks fine
Love the directness!!
Hi Vince if you hire an attorney for a discrimination case he then sends out paperwork to the EEOC how long should it take for the attorney to reach back out to inform you of the decision from the defendant and what they decided. He said he believes they will settle but I'm extremely nervous they will want to go into court and fight this. He has text and emails that I sent out requesting to transfer due to a co-worker making me very uncomfortable and being verbally aggressive towards myself and clients. That person kept his job and I was terminated. I was with the company almost four years never had any issues prior. The employee who kept his job even tho I turned him in for being verbally aggressive and making inappropriate comments had only been with the company about a month.
Vince, i was terminated during the probation period by a federal government dod agency. I was hired march 2024 and fired dec 27 2024. I am having informal mediation tomorrow 21 Jan. I alleged discrimination for religion and gender but the key is i filed for fmla leave supervisor complained and then issued a letter of reprimand 2 weeks later that was baseless and a pretext for firing. Then on 27 dec the day i returned to work i was fired. So i had a covered event fmla leave, adverse action fired and a causal link strong temporal proximity with made up conduct pretext. I also have a witness statement that contradits supervisors conduct statement. Interested?
Hello Vince, thank you for this video great information and perspective. My question is: What has to be present in a case for the plaintiff's attorney to ask for punitive damages in the initial complaint. I'm asking because I've heard that since punitive damages are so difficult to obtain plaintiff's attorney will often amend the complaint after discovery to ask for punitive damages.
In the scope of what this channel talks about, a retaliation claim would need to be present to seek punitive damages.
Should I sue my previous attorney’s law firm for pain and suffering? My previous attorney allowed my claim to sit with the EEOC for two years.
Furthermore, she no longer wanted to represent me when I showed her a policy that stated after six months you can file for the right to sue letter to include she was highly upset. I kept contacting the EEOC investigator in reference to a case status.
For all employers watching...don't document anything in writing with your employees or u will be be screwed by them later. Do everything verbally preferably in private ...If you have to absolutely put something in writing, make it as vague as possible, and assume it will be used by a scumbag employee (and lawyer) against you. If you follow this rule, you will win your lawsuits against these scumbags.!
