In less than two months, Melissa and her team obtained a large settlement (including benefits) for me. The firm is passionate about righting wrongs and, also, offer the fairest fee structure. One of the top trial attorneys in labor/employment law recommended Melissa Washington and The Washington Law Firm. The attorney advised that if she needed a lawyer to represent her in an employment action, she would chose Melissa. I can't think of a stronger recommendation, and I whole-heartedly agree.

When I declined to move forward with the paid consultation, I was told that the previously "free" consultation would now also require the $500 fee. This kind of last-minute change to pricing terms felt inconsistent and left me questioning the firm's transparency. I do not recommend this firm.

I reached out to FindJustice.com (Ellen Eardley & Khalid Mohieldin) regarding my Title VII…read moreemployment retaliation lawsuit in federal court (EDVA) after receiving a rare EEOC determination in my favor. Despite this, their firm declined to take my case without providing any explanation. While it is understandable that not every firm can take on every case, a firm that claims to "Find Justice" should at least provide transparency and professionalism in their decision-making process. Instead, I received a generic declination letter with no insight or referral to another attorney. If you are a potential client seeking serious employment litigation representation, be aware that this firm may decline your case arbitrarily. A firm that markets itself as an advocate for workers should be more upfront with potential clients rather than dismissing them with a vague, copy-paste response. I do NOT recommend this firm if you need committed legal representation. There are far more responsive and transparent employment law firms available.

They have no strong suit - nor do they have any real strategies. I had to send documents repeatedly as the pressure became strong - they began to allow the agency/opposition to call the shots. This firm is a rip-off. I had them for less than a year and they charged me close to $20K with no results. Once I became aware of their tactics to pad invoices and bleed their client, I was told I had to come up with an additional $20-$30K or they would withdraw their representation. DON'T USE THIS FIRM.

They are crooks and cannot be trusted. They purposely drag out your case to charge you more money. the offer new clients a "free book" for consultation. Well working in HR federal govt for over 25 years, I can tell you the book should be free to everyone as it's contents aren't worth paying for! I hired them in 2010 to settle my case the agency wanted to settle. i handed them a clear cut case and they purposely dragged it out to rack up attorney fees. they took advantage of my stress and mental anguish as the agency retaliated against me for them dragging the case out!! they convinced me to sign away 1/3 of my damages in addition to attorney fees. they lied about their attorney cost and finally in 2014, they worked with the admin judge and agency attorney to force me to accept a settlement i did not want to except! they even had the nerve to state in an email to me that i had to accept the settlement because they (not me) were gauranteed to get their outrageous attorney fees paid at triple the actual rate plus a third of my damages money. NEVER sign a contingency agreement with them! they purposely drag out cases so you run out of money and are forced to do a contingency. Don t' trust them .and don't use them EVER. they work against you and in the end you loose not them because attorney fees, no matter how outrageous, are always gauranteed

Unprepared, unknowledgeable, and greedy…read more Greedy. They took every penny over my wife's existing settlement offer. She came to them with an existing offer. They sent a single letter, which raised the offer 50%, but had the lack of ethics to demand their take on the money she already had on the table. In effect they took every penny they could instead of doing the right thing, which is to take your cut on the dollars they actually brought to the table. My wife left this firm in the exact same economic position she entered it. They are shameless. Unknowledgeable. In a call with a partner who supposedly had 25 years experience, she didn't even realize my wife's claim was ineligible for federal EEOC complaint. A threshold issue. The case strategy was badly mismanaged from the beginning as a result. They tossed her case to several lawyers in their firm and none ever learned it. Unprepared. We were double billed and only when WE realized it did they modify the billing. They cannot even block and tackle nevertheless win a case. My advice: Hire a firm that fights FOR you, not fights you. We settled for worse terms than we otherwise would have because we were tired of fighting our own lawyers at Lescht. When you need a lawyer, you need them to fight for you. Lescht does not. Seriously, shoot me an email if you are considering hiring them.
