  Mr. ********, YOU COMBINED 2 CLAIMS TOGETHER, WITH OUT MY KNOWLEDGE OR A RETAINER FOR THE 2ND CLAIM, after I told you durring the consultation 2nd claim to be handled out of court. This is a list of YOUR LIES AND NEGLIGENCE. I have documentation for eveyone. Don't respond by saying I HAVE BUYERS REMORSE or my case was settled 2024 to make it seem old. While you were still my Attroney, I CONFRONTED YOU by Email & In person, Why you were doing the same thing to me that you had done to Javier, YOU NEVER responded to my email and YOU Implied Javier had mental issues, saying he wasn't right in the head. How many more besides me and Javier did you do this too. They must have 2 claims for you to do it. FIRST YOU Had me sign an ENE YOU said was good. 2- Wanted me to sign a settlement YOU said you looked over and looked good. 3- YOU said you would requuest more money if I had to give up job. NOT EVEN A PENNY MORE. 4- YOU Stated in document to Judge NO prior negotiations. 5- Sent 2 Important Documents to my Email, one saying for your records(ENE BREIFING) the other sent w/ a medical release, saying it was to use as a reference if needed, THATS WAS HOW I RECEIVED MY COURT CLAIM 3 MONTHS AFTER IT WAS FILED. THESE WERE NOT SENT SAYING TO READ, VERY IMPORTANT. Then I would have known what you did. (COMBINING MY CLAMS ) The only LEGAL ADVICE YOU gave me was and could have been completely devastating to my life and Health. This did not concern you Because YOU RECEIVED MORE MONEY THAN YOU WOULD HAVE GOTTEN IF THIS WOULD HAVE WENT TO TRIAL. THATS ACCORDING TO YOUR ESTIMATE STATED IN ENE. BREIFING ATTRONEY FEES/COSTS. After receiving 1st. Agreement & telling YOU I would never sign anything that was trying to contain my 2nd. Claim, I asked YOU TO GO TO JUDGE and tell him, Attroney's were trying to include 2nd claim. WHY DID YOU WAIT OVER A Mo. To say it has always been part of the claim? If you deny any of the above, I will make sure to show documents to BBB to prove you lied.

  I disagree with this review.   The facts are this client agreed to a settlement in court.  It was memorialized and signed by this client.   The client then disputed and disagreed with that there was a settlement and the terms and wanted more money so the client and I went to court over that.  The court ruled against the client and ruled you did settle and would be paid the agreed settlement money, but the client was not going to be allowed to renege and back out of the settlement.  There was no professional complaint made nor any civil complaint made and at no time was any of this brought to my attention privately for a personal discussion before this review was posted.  That is the truth.

  January 2020 I went to Trevor ******** for assistance writing a reply to an email from prior employer offering to discuss a setlement for alleged violations. Trevor reviewed the case and advised we had a good case for class action overtime violations. He would go weeks before returning any emails, and even then would not address the question or request. He had the wrong business served, did not inform me, got it right on the 2nd try. Ex employer filed a preposterous counterclaim which Trevor failed to act on or even inform me about until too late to oppose. Little communication until night before interrogatory response deadline, by which time I'd written the responses myself. Employer responses to discovery were incomplete or not what was requested, Trevor agreed to compel discovery, then just did not do it. Trevor did not submit a single case relevant email that I provided into evidence. Trevor did not submit any names for intended witnesses. Trevor did not file the claim properly for class action.
  Employer requested my deposition on counterclaim by their attorney. Exhausting 8 hours. A month later Trevor forwards me an email for the certified deposition transcript copy that was far above valley average charge, and hours from the deadline to object. Why am I even being charged for the certification of the transcript of the deposition they requested? Should be straight copy of the transcript they've already paid to be certified.
  Employer filed for summary judgement with an overabundance of claimed evidence supporting baseless allegations, and very little of my evidence filed. I had to fire Trevor and hire new counsel to mop up his mess.

  When you hire a lawyer. They're supposed to work for U. Are they not? As it turns out, my plight worked for my Hatfield. Lawyers do discuss what both of U are doing before U show up in court? Right? So that U show a consolidated front to the opposing lawyers, the judge & the court. Not ambush your client at the very last minute in court. This is exactly what happened to me. When I paid my lawyer at the very beginning of this. He gave me this speech like we're going to fight this. We're bringing in experts. We're going to request video from work that recorded the incidents. He told me what I wanted to hear, not what he was going to actually do. Which was for him to settle at the first chance he gets for quick & easy cash. As we approached the Early Neutral Evaluation Session. No experts were brought in. Not one security video recording was requested. & I kept asking for these all the way up to my court date. 9/25/22 I went to court for my ENES for Case A. Prior to my appearance in court, I made it very clear to my lawyer not to let Motional include a separate EEOC Case B that was for Charge Of Retaliation. That was in the process of being investigated by the EEOC. So what does Hatfield do? He sells me out at the very last minute, the bottom of the ninth, in court. My so-called lawyer says something like, “We are going to include EEOC Case B with EEOC Case A in settlement negotiations.” I am surprised & shocked to hear this. Especially after all the email & phone conversations between us. & I do have the emails to prove my stance of NOT combining the two, & to FIGHT Motional all the way. I sternly say to him, “What are U doing?” Then comes the threats to get me to go forward his way. The EEOC may not rule in your favor. I will be charged more money for his time. We have to settle today. So I go along after being coerced & bullied by Hatfield. Its a ENES. We didn't have to settle today. He lied. In closing, he took this case from me, every mistreated worker & the EEOC.

  Hi Javier,

  
  

  Thank you for leaving your feedback.  At Hatfield & Associates, Ltd., we strive incredibly hard here to make every client's experience enjoyable and I'm sorry I've not been able to meet your expectations.  I believed that you had received a sizable and fair settlement of your case last year and was disappointed and surprised to see that you evidently disagree.  I believe that there has been a misunderstanding; I would love to resolve any issues with you as quickly as possible.  Please call my office at (702) 388-4469 or email me and I’d love to talk more!

  Mr. Hatfield, your response ignored 90% of what’s in my statement. But, you did type “Please call my office…I would love to resolve any issues with you…I’d love to talk more!”. I’m sure that’s for appearance sake. You’re trying to show that you’re reasonable to the BBB & anyone out there reading this. When we both know that you’re anything but. I see you did not do that for the other BBB complaint here. You know, the let’s talk on the phone thing. So that must mean you got something to hide. I noticed in our e-mail exchanges during my case. When you didn’t want something in writing…the e-mails. You would request we’d discuss this over the phone. And I have the e-mail exchanges to prove it. I don’t think you can help yourself. Old habits die hard. Your Modus Operandi is showing clear as day. Who are you to decide what is a fair settlement? That’s the legal system’s job to decide what’s fair for the injustice that one has gone through. And you took away any chance of that by settling at the first opportunity. As I told you before. The case wasn’t just about the money. The mere fact that you want to supposedly discuss this over the phone tells me you’ve got something you don’t want exposed. Is it that you’ll bargain away a case with an opposing lawyer for quick cash via an early settlement? Or that you can be bought and paid for by the other side? I guess only you and God know for sure.
