Who is this reply for?
@@d.c.bubblesit’s a direct quote, from Vince.
Attorney Vincent, you're doing God's work. (After been wrongfully terminated after coming back from FMLA leave) I met with my employment attorney yesterday at 3pm. After I left, by 4.09pm, she sent them a demand letter. Liked her before physically meeting with her. Liked her more after meeting with her. She's no joke, she's a Partner of the firm, which mean she's no slough. Please wish me luck.
Cheering for your success and hoping for your good luck!
Is she in New York. Sounds like Employment Attorney?
Currently I’m involved with the EEOC. I filed a charge against my employer for discrimination (age, sex, disability). They wrote their position statement with 2 affidavits that are blatant lies. I have a lot of documentation that was submitted with my charge. It is currently in the investigation phase. I will be responding to their PS. What is the best way to write it? Paragraph form? Respond after each statement they wrote with my answer?
My last question is, when is the best time to retain an attorney? I was willing to do mediation but my employer was not.
Thank you, Elle
Thank you for this video! We had to send a demand letter on our own to a large company. They’ll probably ignore it which will bring us to small claims court. Hoping they make it right so fingers crossed
You have such insight into the human mind and exhibit such compassion...are you sure you are an attorney?😂😂😂
Somehow they let me in the club
@@JobAttorney 😂😂😂😂
He sure does...and I love it. Can't stop watching his videos.
Love your videos. Watched many. They’re great. Very helpful.
This is super helpful. I had my first chat with an employment attorney today that mentioned demand letters and that she doesn't do litigation. Hearing your rationale makes so much sense why shes not for me.
Your videos are awesome 👏 great information
I had a high success rate with the demand letter process. Didn’t have to arbitrate or litigate. I got $70K. Not all situations are equal though.
May I ask what your case was base on
You crack me up! And provide invaluable advice!
My uncle (NY STATE Supreme Court judge) would have loved you. He was an ardent admirer of Supreme Court Justice Brandeis and often quoted him: "People
have the right to be let alone" and, while he uttered those words in the context of
search/seizure, those words continue to ring in my head while fighting harassment case in NH where there is not a SINGLE attorney who comes close to your acumen and character--and the pine paneled basement? Priceless!
Found the video! Thank you ☺️
Very helpful
I had 4 demand letters sent out to all parties and they were all ignored.
Do you have any thoughts on the EEOC hearings process available to federal employees? Is it worthwhile, or would it be better to skip it and go directly to federal court?
At what point in the process can I be sued to pay the legal fees for the defendant if I lose my case.
The EEOC interview my former employer last week, and they told me that my former employer and their attorney left the office mad. That’s that mean my case is going on my favor. ? Can I sent a demand letter on my own?
Who do you file a complaint with if the EEOC abuses it’s power or discriminate against you?
Your videos ALWAYS leads me to watch another.... is this binge watching an Attorney? Do you handle cases in New Mexico?
We do handle workplace discrimination and workplace sexual harassment matters in all 50 States, but I always tell people to check their local options first. Your local options will generally be cheaper.
He play to much 😂😂
Hi! Thanks for video. Would you be able to share some thoughts on sending a demand letter to a defense attorney who is representing the employer's insurance company on a discrimination case?
I am still employed and doing mediation but i don't reallly get it. It's ageism and on a bogus PIP and have a lot of documentation. How do i figure out whays reasonable. I have 15 years w company.
Thsnk u
Is it typical for the employer to reject your demand letter and request a lower amount? If the employer mention that they feel they can fight your case, is that a typical statement? My case against the employer is pretty great with a number of evidence and witnesses to prove discrimination, retaliation, and harassment, and also having a clean employment record (employee evals, attendance etc) and I'm not sure why they would risk taking that to court. Also, is it wise to go to the media since my attorneys have to file complaint in court?
This was so helpful for me my letter went out 5 days ago. He has 5 days to respond. Part of me feels like he thinks it’s nothing and another part feels like he is worried about the huge impact it will have if he doesn’t address it now. Thank you
Question I already know the answer but I love to go live and teach or make soap. Should I stay off of social media until this is over. Or just do soap videos no more of the filters and effects
Is it to late to obtain you
How,much is a commercial truck accident
My case settled after 6 months. He was too scared to go to court. It was worth more but I settled out of court on sexual harassment charges for 60k

What does it means when the department of justice gets involved with my case!
Hi Vince,
I have a small scenario for you.
A law firm professional gets terminated but the pre-text is racial discrimination. Said employee’s counsel sends a demand letter, X company denies allegations. Now, the employees counsel states they will file an EEOC charge, and X company’s attorney in writing retaliated and terminations the employee the next day. It has been 7 months and now an EEOC charge is filed. What could be a typical response from X company or their defense?
Hey,My name is Jermaine I got in to a commercial truck accident. Not my fault on a city bus was13 people on the bus when a commercial truck hit us.I had 2 injection in my back and went to therapy for 6 months, do I have a good case are what's it worth
❤ great video was just wondering how long do you wait for a response until you decide to file?
Our firm waits ten business days, as aggression of part of our model. A pro se litigant will generally want to wait longer than that I think.
@@JobAttorney Hello Vincent love your channel always looking out for the lil guys thank you. Ik this is not in your Department but I hope you have a good answer can A paralegal attend vocational Rehabilitation meetings on behalf of lawyer with the client without lawyer being present
I was terminated, first thing said is we honored your FMLA! second was most of your points are you punching in late.. Red flag I'm never late. They sent my points and dates I received them. 2 days were FMLA days. I called in left voicemails saying it's FMLA. Never thought to record me calling. That's what I'm needing right now. Thought my phone records would work. But attorney denied to help. What do I do. I have papers from Met-Life approving the days.
? I want a demand letter. Demanding the answers to why? I had to wait over ten plus years to get the renewed prescription from a doctor for a medication that makes me able to be employed and work? Please.
Demand letter how does it work
Does your client get a copy of letters and email sent?
Our clients do receive copies of our letter of intent, in fact they review it and approve it before it goes out.
Attorney Vincent,
I'm being represented by an employment attorney. There were inaccuracies all throughout the demand letter to my now ex employer. To the point I would call them outright lies. I told my attorneys via email everything that occurred. The demand letter didn't even get names of my supervisors correct. I'm concerned that this letter makes me look like a liar. Is this a strategy or did they just not read the details of the events that occurred? I'll give an example. One male I worked with asked me inappropriate questions and the demand letter stated that I told this person to stop with the inappropriate line of questioning but that he continued and the following month "propositioned" me. I never told my attorneys that this person did that. I sent them an email with a list of the errors. One of the attorneys on my case gave me a call and said that they don't want the employer to know all the cards they hold so they just tell a third of what they know. He said the errors aren't really a big deal because if this goes to court it will be what is filed with the EEOC that matters and not the demand letter. I'm sure they are right about that I'm just worried that this demand letter will not be taken seriously.
I appreciate any feedback on this matter. Thanks!
Can I call you about my case??
Should I wait for a right to sue letter to ask my attorney to send a Demand Letter or should I wait for the EEOC to make a determination to ask my attorney to send a demand letter?
That’s my question too. Is this after mediation didn’t go well?
Can you do a demand letter for me?
Testing
Wish you were in Texas
We handle workplace discrimination and sexual harassment in Texas, but nothing else and your local options will be significantly cheaper.
@@JobAttorney
Understood
We officers and ex officers will never hire Dallas lawyers
I would hire you and pay the price
I will not hire a lawyer from Dallas Texas
Because they all work for my ex employer
Fact
You gave me hope
Ty Sr
A advice
I sent a arbitration demand letter for securities fraud and they are choosing to ignore it I think.
Time to file then
@@JobAttorney the case is already filed I'm waiting for it to be assigned an arbitrator
Let me ask you, I sent a demand letter along with the affidavit of Truth and a remedy request, I initially sent an email of everything but I also mailed those same docs to the legal department, was I supposed to address it to actual person or is addressing it to the legal department ok ?
The initial email was sent to two indenture trustees the CEO the compliance director and the legal representative of one side.
Hello! May i ask what will happen for the demand letter after they refuse it to respond. Then I don’t have any evidence if ever i file a case against may accused person. What will happen next? Is it strong enough to file even without evidence?.
You have question constipation Vince.
oh?
