We are happy to report that, after a long hard fought lawsuit,we recovered almost half a million dollars from the employer in this case. The compensation of our office is governed by a written retainer agreement signed by our clients at the beginning of any lawsuit. Our typical agreement provides for the reimbursement of actual costs to our office and the payment of 40% of the total recovery as our compensation. Our typical agreement provides that the client is entitled to 60% of the total recovery. Our clients owe us nothing if there is no recovery. We stand by this agreement,which is fair and reasonable. We aresaddened that, in this instance, when we obtained such an excellent result, the client is unsatisfied with the money that he/she is entitled to, based on the written agreement.Typically, the recovery of significant compensation is a happy moment for our office and our clients. It is a moment to celebrate the hard work we put, to remember the hardships and risks endured, and to be grateful for the vindication of an important cause.
We regret that this clients complaint contains significant misunderstandings of the legal process (for example, the legal significance of an arbitrators award and the different items of recovery). Sadly, the complaint also contains numerous factual inaccuracies and falsehoods. (For example, referring to Claudia erroneously as a partner and claiming we charged him/her with fees for a rental car and meals.)We previously provided the client with documentation specifying the costs incurred in this case including receipts.
We are disappointed that this client is attempting to impugn the reputation of Mr. Kim. Mr. Kim is a graduate of Harvard Law School and has a significant record of public service. For example, Mr. Kim spent the first two years of his legal career working as a human rights attorney in the impoverished nation of Haiti on behalf of political rape victims and disadvantaged children. Mr. Kim is also the recipient of the Kaufman Public Service Fellowship, the Henigson Human Rights Fellowship, and a community service award from Harvard Law School.
In the end, we stand by our efforts to be skilled, aggressive, and ethical advocates for our clients.
