Do employment defense counsel evaluate an employee's attorney when determining settlement offers?

[@StillRising0615]

Hi Vince, this was amazing, thanks for taking the time to create the video. Admittedly I think my first attorney was a joke and was just a settlement peddler. My new attorney is a monster and has done some federal litigation which makes me feel as though I’m in good hands. Just hope they settle prior to arbitration but know that is highly unlikely with the favor swinging to the employer in arbitration.

Did you end up getting a settlement? Same exact situation here

Hello Vince, thank you for this video great information and perspective. My question is: What has to be present in a case for the plaintiff's attorney to ask for punitive damages in the initial complaint. I'm asking because I've heard that since punitive damages are so difficult to obtain plaintiff's attorney will often amend the complaint after discovery to ask for punitive damages.

In the scope of what this channel talks about, a retaliation claim would need to be present to seek punitive damages.

Should I sue my previous attorney’s law firm for pain and suffering? My previous attorney allowed my claim to sit with the EEOC for two years. Furthermore, she no longer wanted to represent me when I showed her a policy that stated after six months you can file for the right to sue letter to include she was highly upset. I kept contacting the EEOC investigator in reference to a case status.

For all employers watching...don't document anything in writing with your employees or u will be be screwed by them later. Do everything verbally preferably in private ...If you have to absolutely put something in writing, make it as vague as possible, and assume it will be used by a scumbag employee (and lawyer) against you. If you follow this rule, you will win your lawsuits against these scumbags.!
