RevDex.com: I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted] , and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.What "need" suddenly arose in January 2015 for Grady and Associates to liquidate the large bulk of my $5000 retainer? I have received little to no product or service for the $5000 I paid to Grady and Associates and would like the money returned or else evidence of $5000 worth of product or service be provided other than a matrix of charges for case review and telephone calls mailed to my home, thank you.

Our law firm has been a member of the Revdex.com for plus years, and is a Revdex.com accredited business with an A+ rating. Like many online complaints about businesses, this complaint is not only untrue, but grossly so. It is defamatory and warrants legal action against the former client who
posted it (hereinafter “the poster”). It is untrue that the poster was charged for the free initial consultation. He was not. It is untrue that *** is a new attorney to whom the poster was “passed off.” *** has years as a practicing, California licensed attorney, including years with another employment law firm, and he is a magna cum laude law graduate. Moreover, before the client signed the attorney-client agreement and provided the retainer amount, he was told three times that another attorney of the firm, in addition to the managing attorney, would be working on his matter, and he was told that *** would be that attorney. It is untrue that the poster asked us to quit working on his case because he saw some bad reviews online. In fact, he told us that his father was upset that his mother had put the attorney’s fees on her credit card, and the father wanted the money back. Moreover, in the poster’s letter to us of February 3, telling us to quit working on his matter, he states, “can you please call me as soon as possible so I can pay my mother back for the portion of the retainer spent already.” He also states, “I would like the amount of the retainer not used refunded to my mothers credit card as soon as possible.” Speaking of online business reviews about us, we have reason to believe that the poster put some of them up himself. In any event, this A+ rated law firm has had over FOUR THOUSAND clients, and the number of complaints has been tiny, infinitesimal when this fact is considered. Moreover, contrary to what the poster claims, we certainly have positive online reviews, and we know for a fact that the criticisms of negative ones are unwarranted (as the poster’s one is unwarranted) and that some of the reviews have been posted by a disgruntled former employee of the firm, and some possibly by other attorneys. The internet is the bathroom wall of the computer age. It is also untrue that we were slow in handling the poster’s legal matter. He hired us on Wednesday, 1/29/14, and discharged us on Monday, 2/3/14. During that brief time, we met with him to gather facts regarding his matter, had telephonic conferences with him, reviewed and analyzed the numerous documents he had brought in, produced a draft demand letter to his former employer, produced a draft letter to the poster about applying for unemployment benefits, produced and sent a letter to his former employer requesting his employee file, and took other steps. He did not review the draft letters because they were not complete when he terminated our services. He has now been sent the draft letters, and we did not charge him for the personnel file letter. This Revdex.com A+ rated law firm did excellent legal work for the poster at low hourly rates, at a cost of only $894.10. In fact, we even discounted his billing by $88.26. His defamatory complaint has absolutely no basis

Revdex.com:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.It is an insult for a Revdex.com member like Mr. Grady to officially refer to a business consumer as "the poster." With Mr. Grady's arrogant responses to this Revdex.com complaint, what Mr. Grady fails to realize is that I hired him and his law firm to represent me before the EEOC. As a consequence, Mr. Grady worked for me; I didn't work for him. Regardless of that fact, the basis for my complaint is that Mr. Grady took my $5000, most all of it during the month of January 2015 alone, yet provided insufficient service for which I hired his law firm to do. This includes over the course of several months from July 2014 to December 2014, the siphoning of my $5000 down some $800 for a few phone calls, a couple of letters, and more "case review" of little to no consequence. What was the "necessary legal work" performed for the month of January 2015? This wasn't some landmark, precedent setting legal case before the Supreme Court of the United States; it was an EEO issue. Did the EEOC in Los Angeles make contact with Grady & Associates to schedule a hearing before an EEOC administrative judge? I don't think so. That's why I want Grady & Associates to return my money and then Mr. Grady can muster up all of any inherent integrity and honesty he might have inside of him and explain to the Revdex.com what the necessary legal work was in the month of January 2015 that he felt justified enough to separate [redacted] from his money.
