After providing attorney with comprehensive details of my termination and the encounters I had…read moreexperienced, he inquired about my situation. He determined that it would be challenging to substantiate my claim of termination due to my actions after continuing to be targeted and harassed. Notably, he did not address the denial of my ADA accommodation or any verifiable evidence that could support my case. Upon conclusion of the investigation, it was proven that my termination was not based on factual evidence. The termination was attributed to third-party reports. It is concerning that Human Resources failed to respond appropriately when receiving numerous complaints against the supervisor I was questioning due to his tyrannical behavior. The attorney offered to take my case for an upfront fee of $25,000.00. Despite the significant evidence I have to support my discriminatory and retaliation claims, I decided to accept his offer. Red Flags: Why is the attorney asking for $25,000 upfront? There are generally two reasons an attorney will demand a massive amount of money upfront rather than taking it on contingency: * The case is high-risk or difficult to prove: If your evidence consists mostly of "he said, she said" without physical documentation (emails, texts, witnesses), an attorney may not want to risk working for free. They demand payment upfront so they are guaranteed compensation for their labor. * The "damage" value is low: Even if an employer clearly broke the law, your financial damages (lost wages, back pay) might be low. If 40% of your potential winnings wouldn't cover the lawyer's time, they will charge a flat or hourly rate instead. Crucial Questions to Ask This Attorney Before you write a check, you need to understand exactly what that $25,000 covers. Ask them: 1. "Is this a flat fee or an hourly retainer?" If it is hourly, ask how fast they expect to burn through it. 2. "Does this cover just the EEOC administrative process, or filing a lawsuit in federal court?" (Handling an EEOC investigation is much cheaper than filing a full lawsuit). 3. "Does this include litigation costs?" (Court filing fees, court reporters, deposition transcripts, and expert witnesses can add an extra $5,000 to $15,000+ on top of attorney fees). 4. "If we win, do you also take a percentage of the winnings?" (Be careful--some lawyers try to charge a high fee and a percentage). What you should do next Get a second and third opinion. Do not pay $25,000 until you have spoken to a few other experienced employment lawyers. Most will offer a free or low-cost initial consultation. If multiple attorneys turn down your case on contingency, it usually means your case faces steep legal hurdles, and you will have to decide if risking $25,000 of your own money is worth the gamble. To help me give you more specific guidance, where are you currently at in the process? Have you already received a "Right to Sue" letter from the EEOC, or are you still waiting for them to complete their investigation?

We cannot thank Julie Sparks and the team at J. Sparks Law enough for completely changing our…read morelives. My husband was arrested in 2017 and at this time he had no legal status in the United States after his DACA had expired days prior to the arrest. He was facing a criminal charge with an immigrant hold which was devastating for us. We didn't know who to turn to for guidance through the legal process. Luckily, using google I was able to find Julie Sparks. Since the very beginning she was responsive, empathetic and just a great person to work with during this difficult time. She knew exactly which road to take to get my husband from county jail to immigration holding to start the process of removal from the United States. From there, we had a few immigration court hearings and spent a lot of time waiting for an appeal of removal while Julie worked behind the scenes to research and plan his legal defense. Ultimately, after 6 years of working with Julie and her team, my husband is now a US visa holder. This has changed our lives from living in fear to living with freedom and being able to travel internationally. We have built a great relationship with Julie over the years and she never made us feel like just clients more like friends. She shows true dedication and commitment to her clients and will work endlessly to fight for you. Thank you team so much for everything you have done for us. We wouldn't recommend any other immigration law firm to friends and family. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
