Re: Complaint No [redacted] I am writing in response o your letter of September 23, 2015, describing the complaint of [redacted] related to the fee charged for prosecuting an appeal of an adverse decision againsther by the Oregon Unemployment DivisionWe pursued the appeal at her direction, at a costand rate disclosed in advance, and one mutually agreed to We believe that all work performed was reasonable and necessary, and that we presentedthe facts and law competentlyWe do not know the outcome of her case because the appellateopinion has not yet issuedbut stand by all work performed on Ms***'s behalfThank you ? Very truly yours, ? Dennis S [redacted]

Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because:I can prove that MrS [redacted] did not adhere to our signed contract.? Not only did he charge me a? inflated hourly fee, $vsthe ? $that we agreed upon,? but he also? charged me for his and his assistant's commute to Salem, which we agreed, in writing,? would not happen.MrS [redacted] also charged me for research that was unnecessary, as any evidence that he may have found at this point, would not be admitted into the court, since the final brief had already been submitted.? You? must preserve all evidence during the EAB hearing or it cannot be entered.? I was not informed that he was planning to do more research or another extensive review.? It should not have been necessary, as I had already paid him and his assistant to review everything before filing the final brief for me.Finally, the fees charged for the "conference following? oral arguments" was actually MrS [redacted] ? making excuses as to? why he didn't use all of the allotted time he had? during oral arguments.? ? This part of conversation was very short and happened on? the way to our vehicles, which was part of? his commute.? Most of the conversation actually consisted of MrS [redacted] being upset that my legal fees were so high in comparison to the amount that I had stood to win.? I though he meant the initial $5,000, and? maybe another $1,for the appearance at oral arguments.? He never let on that I still had another $7,000+ in unexpected fees coming.Sincerely, [redacted] ***
