Client Review on Thatcher Law Firm, LLC

Feedback:

I went to a consultation with Linda Thatcher's law associates. I felt that it was the biggest waste of my time and money. Maybe, I should've opted to meet with her vs. her associates. I've been on some legal consultations over the years for different cases, and for the most part, I've been able to walk away with jewels of information and strategic advice and/or suggestions as to how to approach my case. Ultimately, this is what you pay for when you have a legal consultation, even if the firm decides to pass on the case. In the end, walking away with useful information is worth the money. On the contrary, her law associates asked irrelevant questions and wasted my time by reciting the documents back to me that I submitted to them, as if I didn't read them beforehand. Plus, the documents I submitted for their review were discovery from an EEOC investigation and mediation; thus, the documents were already reviewed and dissected by myself, the investigator, and my previous attorney. So, her law associates reading them back to me wasn't enlightening in any way. They also kept saying that things discussed in the mediation wasn't admissible in court unless it was being recorded, which isn't accurate because the investigator/ mediator's note can be admissible in a trial. That's the whole point of discovery. Also, I felt that they didn't listen effectively because questions were repeatedly asked as if they weren't listening. Also, they kept confusing the respondent that I was trying to pursue in court. There are multiple respondents in my case. If I could do it over, I would've either paid the higher rate to meet with Mrs. Thatcher or not have gone at all. Lastly, they couldn't take the case due to time constraints, which they could've informed me of sooner. They also informed me over the phone that they couldn't take my case, versus the mail or email. They failed to refer me to fellow law firms that possibly could take my case in their absence. I also noticed they failed to make copies of my documents for their file. In all of my legal consultations, this is the first law firm that I've come across that failed to do any of those things. I will not be recommending this law firm to any of my colleagues or friends. I feel like I was cheated and robbed for my money, in addition to wasting over an hour of my time that I can't get back.
