I filled out a Melehy & Associates inquiry online on June 8, 2024. I did not receive a follow up…read morecall or email after this, so I called on June 18, 2024. Felipe stated he could not find my inquiry, so I provided the information. After emailing my information and scheduling a 10-minute consultation for July 30th, I called for my appointment yesterday and was informed that not only was my appointment not on the calendar, but the person who took my call could not find my information. When I finally spoke with the attorney, Mrs. Suvita Melehy, Esq., she apologized for the mishaps and explained they were understaffed. 30 seconds into explaining my case, Mrs. Melehy began to theorize AGAINST my case without understanding that the employer does not calculate credentials as both she and I do. She began to continuously interrupt me to the point I had to ask her if I could finish my sentence. Mrs. Melehy explained that her firm does not take civil rights cases on contingency, which I understand as a civil rights advocate, and she explained that Mr. Melehy's hourly rate is $675/hr., hers is around $625/hr., and junior associates' hourlies are ~$350-$450. She explained that they do not accept payment plans. While their hourly rates are so high that a judge recently ordered that their excessive attorney's fees charges be lowered in a case in April 2024, I was willing to pay their rate. Where Melehy & Associates lost a client with a valid case that will net higher than the $250,000 case Mrs. Melehy bragged about is when she decided not to listen to a potential client. It is clear their purpose is solely making money, not advocacy nor helping victims of discrimination. I highly suggest Melehy remove civil rights work from their offered services if money is their only motive.

Highly recommend for anyone with an employment law/discrimination issue! Later post: Omar and Suvita, the senior partners, stuck with me during the entire process. Omar communicated regularly which meant a great deal -- I have seen lawyers that go long stretches where the client hears nothing. Even though Omar had much bigger cases to tackle, he made me feel like I was his most important priority. Omar gave me his full commitment throughout the process. I never had a moment of disappointment or frustration with Omar as my lawyer. He and Suvita are both trustworthy and honorable. We entered a reasonable settlement; I did not want to head into discovery. Last thought: even the firm's paralegals are impressively skilled and kind! Thank you so much Melehy & Associates.

W$N B$G - Thank You Natalie!!!! (Please note- I posted this…read morereview on my husband's behalf.) First off, we have to say that my wife and I were really searching for the right employment lawyer in the DMV area. We knew we were in need of someone to represent our case. So we made a few calls to our friends who were in the legal field but could not represent us since they were not the kind of lawyers that we needed. Thus they gave us a few names to contact and we did. We called three law firms, made appointments, and did an initial meeting with all of them. It took several weeks to get all those done. Even after that effort, none made us feel that they were the right person. So we did a Google search and came across Potomac Legal Group. After reading about Natalie's bio and many positive reviews online, we reached out and set up a call with her. After a two hour call, informing her about what we had gone through with a particular company, that had turned our lives up side down, Natalie assured us that she could handle our case. We felt it in our guts that she was the right person for the lawsuit. We had not yet met her in person but we went ahead and did all the paperwork online to hire her as our attorney. We later went to see her in person. At first we thought our case would be done within three to six months at the longest. However, the opposing lawyers dragged the case on and the more they did, the more frustrating we became. But throughout this whole time, we received nothing but clear communication, transparency, and outstanding deliveries from Natalie and her team behind the scene. Note here - if you are new to hiring a lawyer to represent you, please be advised that it is not your lawyer's job to manage your anxiety of wanting to get the legal issue done and over with. It is your job and maybe your therapist. But what I could tell you is that Natalie's commitment to help us did help mange our anxiety. When we had questions, she always found time to call back, answer those questions, and give good advice to help with the case. Her commitment paid off big time because we WON BIG. Both emotionally and financially. It would not have happened if not for the persistence, strategy and competency of Natalie and her team! Throughout the process the other party looked at us like - really? You had no idea who you are up against. We're a big DC law firm with big money. We're going to destroy you and your family. To say that we had extreme stress was an understatement. But in the end, with Natalie as our lawyer, she helped us prove to the world that what we had gone through was not right. No entity in the US or the world should treat someone the way my family was treated. We were jubilant when we received the justice we deserved. It felt Amazing. If you are looking for a work related lawyer when an employer has done an employee wrong, we highly recommended Natalie at Potomac Legal Group. And we thank God, and the universe for not letting us settle with other lawyers that we met before her. She was the best and most trustworthy lawyer! She treated us like friends and we are fiends now. You need a lawyer like this in your corner.
