Pre Paid Legal - George Tabb Would not take my case of unlawful termination of an employer, company broke the law concerning safety issues, ripoff Ada Oklahoma
I was terminated from a trucking company because I refused to violate the law. This company refused to allow drivers to keep and turn in log books as well as daily inspection reports. This company also forced drivers to work over the legal limit. When I attempted to follow the law I was terminated.
I filed and was granted unemploymnet benifits and was awarded $2000.00 settlement from the S.T.A.A.
The Lawyers at my Provided Law Firm in North Carolina refused to take my case. They were rude to me and told me I had no case. The reason given was that NC is a right to work state. Guess that means Trucking Commpanies can break the law and get away with it, NOT.
I terminated me membership immediality. Now I get emails from Associates inviting me to meetings. I have asked the Company in Ada to put a stop to this, but they will not. George Tabb an Associate in Raleigh NC does not get the message either.I have asked him many times to stop sending me emails but he will not stop. For some reason PPL is able to get through my spam blocker and email block.
Almost 4 years of membership payments gone.

I am sorry that the associate who signed you up apparently didn't explain properly

These attorneys have the right to refuse any case if they feel it's unmeritious. The associate should've explained that to you. Also however if you want you could've asked the attorney or customer service for a referreral attorney of someone who might think the case is meritious. Pre-paid legal gives you that option and chance. Where do you get that anywhere else? I apologize however it sounds like the associate just didn't explain what you had properly to know. This is more gear'd towards working outside of court and settling and the forms service center honestly anyways.

Sure is curious so many different people just happened to follow up with positive rebuttals to the multitude of seemingly legitimate complants of Prepaid Legal. . Damage control by Prepaid Legal perhaps? Uhhh.....that's my take on this thread.

PPL Lawyer was Probably (but not Necessarily) Correct

Unfortunately, the PPL lawyers were probably correct in determining that you had no case. It doesn't have anything to do with the "right to work" law, which has to do with union membership requirements, not discharges. The correct reason why you likely have no case is that NC, like every other state, has at-will employment laws. This means that you can be terminated at any time, for any reason, with the exception of discrimination laws. However, some states have a certain type of law in place that could help you (IF NC has such a law, but most states do not). Basically, in some states, you can succeed on a wrongful termination case if the reason for your termination was your refusal to violate the law. An attorney with only a basic understanding of employment law probably wouldn't even be familiar with this legal theory. As far as an attorney who isn't intimately familiar with employment law is concerned, non-contracted employment is at will and, in the absence of discrimination, there is no viable wrongful termination claim. So if your provided attorney did not specialize in employment law, and if NC has the above-mentioned law (which, as I said, isn't likely in the first place), then you were likely a victim of legal malpractice. Otherwise, your provided atorney was probably correct in his determination. That certainly doesn't excuse bad customer service, and I am by no means a PPL advocate, but it is more likely than not that you did, in fact, not have a case.
