Hugh McGavick was exactly who I needed for my case. I had an employment related legal situation,…read morewhere my employer changed what we had originally agreed to for my retention. Originally, a bonus for my retention through a specific date was agreed to. Upon my last day, they sent a separation agreement that did not include this bonus, and even included wording that if I sign the separation agreement, I would be waiving all claims, obligations, etc. with the company, and it even specifically included bonuses. I obviously was concerned about this, but the company refused to amend the agreement to include the bonus they had already agreed to, and told me they would pay it out after I signed the agreement... an agreement that made them not legally liable to do so. I've never needed legal aid before, so I had no idea where to start, but I was able to find Avvo, which led me to Hugh. After I contacted him, explained the situation, and paid for his services, he went after the company quickly. He made sure to gather from me all the information he needed, and presented the facts to the company in an organized and clear way within one day of payment. , Hugh also cited the laws and governing bodies for Washington they were potentially violating. As I am someone who knows nothing about this sort of thing, it really was helpful to know how employment and wage laws in Washington applied to me and my case. The company wired the bonus quickly after Hugh's involvement, and Hugh is honest with billable hours as well. He sent me an itemized invoice after our business was concluded, that showed how he spent every moment on our case, and even refunded me part of the balance as I had initially paid for more time than was needed. I couldn't be happier with the help I received from Hugh! He is honest, worked hard for my case, kept the pressure on the company, and made sure I was satisfied with the results before considering his job done.

She told me she would contact me in a day or two, but instead she decided to break the confidentiality agreement that I was supposed to be protected under and contacted the other parties attorney and disclosed my name and intentions for taking the case to court because of signatures being forged, signed off by the other attorney (she admitted that she knew of him in the initial consultation, but I didn't know she was going to overlook the law protecting the lawyer/client confidentiality agreement in the process). It's definitely connecting dots between attorneys and the county clerks who are swindling so many people. Be careful with the attorney you are dealing with giving your information to.

It took me a few years because I felt humiliated & angry that I just want to forget what happened to me but I always thought about it. So here is my review. I would never signed up with this law firm if I only knew the way they mishandled my case. When it was time to show up in the courthouse, I was met by another attorney that I never met before. The attorney at that time never gave me the reason why Greg Rhodes did not attend that day. I was confused & shocked. That attorney never even say a word in my behalf during the court proceeding. That attorney just asked me if I want to appeal the judge's decision against my case. I just said NO and left. I spent thousands of dollars with Greg Rhodes and felt that Greg just took advantaged of me. I will advise everyone to look for another attorneys to hire if they want a good and honest legal representation. I hope this review is useful to you.
