Your video highlights several things. 1.) The people that are most often contacting employment attorneys are often extremely depressed because of the discrimination that they were subjected to, and because the path to obtaining justice in these matters is so difficult. 2.) This byproduct of the marketplace in which employment attorneys are seeking to make a living by helping such people obtain justice for the wrongs that were done to them, can be extremely harmful and depressing to the attorneys as well. As an age discrimination victim and survivor, who is still actively pursuing their case, I can honestly say that I can see both sides of this issue, and your video makes me feel for you attorneys as well. All I can say is thank you for doing the hard work that you are doing, and hang in there. America’s workers need you, just like America needs soldiers, sailors, policemen, etc. to protect all of us. But it is often a hard and sometimes thankless job, and God Bless You all for doing it.

Emotional pleas, broadly speaking, to people you have no relationship with are manipulative. That being said, I'm sure by the time someone approaches an employment attorney, they might have already suffered months or years of emotional damage at the hand of their employer(s) and accumulated a great deal of stress.

[@cherylsample7491]

Exactly

[@MyOtherChannel-zy3tf]

Mental instability in itself is hard to deal with, mix that in with the seriousness of litigation and you have increased the difficulty of managing the case successfully.

[@cherylsample7491]

Exactly you couldn't have said it any better no speaks on this how difficult it it to strategize, respond meet dead lines come up with dates specific answers it's very difficult to do doesn't seem like there is no attention ever brought up about this.

[@Ooohmy]

Vince, have you ever represented a case of a terminated support person? The EEOC and Job Application Network both speak of this, and I believe it's a rare situation.

[@mindovermatter2day]

Question: If an employment attorney is hired on a contingency basis, and she accepted your case. It was against a HUGE corporation and it was my young new attorney against their 3 corporate attorneys is it possible that my attorney could be bought out to purposely throw the case? Hardly put any time into the case and then tell me there was so much documentation against me she didn’t want to take it in front of a judge, but she would try to get as much as possible as a settlement Ended up getting a small settlement even tho they completely fabricated scenarios and HR created documents to substantiate lies told. Why would she cave like that? She acted so disinterested in the case and kept trying to tell me they had their ducks in a row which they didn’t and LIED. So they were let off the hook with a small settlement ( above 10 grand but below 20 grand). Can large corporations buy out your lawyer? Some of the stuff was hilarious to see and read. I was raked over the coals, words put in my mouth, mobbed by younger gen in my group and other people afraid to stand up for me.

I am working on my case solo Very hard Anyhow Funny 😄

[@im1066]

Thank you for convincing me not to hire an attorney. I'm fighting a fairly low dollar fight to correct a record, it's more about right than money, and not worth an attorney's time.

[@soufwesthoustontx]

Love the honesty. 😂

[@RMA84]

I am now 2 years and 1 month into my EEOC complaint… my former employer refuses to let them investigate and simply wants to make me an offer… this was 6 months ago… is there a way to speed this up?

[@carrie4929]

FACT: #2 most sought after career choice for primary psychopaths is an attorney. Lol very honest description Vince

[@T3hXinro]

Vince! Question for you. Very shortly after filing a charge, a person got an email stating that the EEOC is deferring the charge to their state agency. Is this generally a positive? Negative? Dependent on the state? Under what circumstances should they ask for it to be sent back to the EEOC? Thanks!

[@Relentlesss6437]

I've had a case with the eeoc for 2 years, feels like I'm getting no where. And my lawyer was from a Google sponsored ad(doesn't seem to really care) that doesn't do litigation... seeing I feel my case is strong and I would like to pursue litigation.. am I able to just switch go a litigation lawyer if I'm ready to request RTS?

[@MyOtherChannel-zy3tf]

It matters what your contract with your attorney stipulates. Was your attorney just for the EEOC level or for a trial also?

[@Relentlesss6437]

@MyOtherChannel-zy3tf oh ok, appreciate it. I want to say EEOC because of how conversations have went and what I remember being said. He also recently stated that they don't do litigation. But I would have to and definitely going to check the contract to see for sure.

[@IkramA-kf5qt]

Well It’s hard but I guess we have to stay strong

[@IkramA-kf5qt]

😂 😂
