I came to Achkar Law Office after experiencing severe workplace harassment, discrimination, and bullying, which forced me to resign from my nursing position. I paid over $600 for an initial consultation and more than $5,000 as a retainer, with the understanding that my case would be submitted to the Human Rights Tribunal.
Instead, I was provided with a draft that did not reflect my main concerns, particularly the negligence of my union, and was told I had to pay an additional $5,000+ before the case would be submitted. When I asked for a finalized legal draft so I could proceed independently, I was again told I had to replenish the retainer.
In my experience, this office took a large retainer, delivered very little of value, and pressured me for more money without fulfilling the original agreement. I strongly advise anyone considering retaining this office to be very cautious before signing or paying.
