KC001
Good Employement/Discrimination Lawyer in CT?
Can someone recommend a good one that doesn't charge a ridiculous amount for consultation and retainer fees?

Is Palmieri a good lawyer?
Additional Details
I am willing to pay just not $250 to $350 for an hour just for the consultation. And then I have to spend another $20,000 for the hrs the lawyer works on the case even if I don't win.

One lawyer I spoke to charge a $5000 retainer and then 40% from any settlement get. I thought that was reasonable. What do you think?

That is basically what they all charge. If you find one that does not charge a retainer then you can bet they will take a huge chuck (sometimes more than 50%) of the settlement and they only take your case if it is a sure thing.

if discrimination is involved file a complaint with the EEOC
http://www.eeoc.gov
once they investigate they will handle a settlement for you if there were any violations and you still have the right to bring a civil suit if you don't like the decision or settlement. why pay a lawyer when this can be handled for free. if there is no validity to your claim you will find that out as well and can still retain counsel if you feel strongly about it.

go the free route first and gain as much insight and knowledge as possible. pursue retaining an attorney if you feel that is the best route for you but only do so after you gain as much knowledge about the process as possible first.

the website shows you a history of past claims and total settlement amounts for each year so you can see they do take this seriously IF there are any violations of law.
