Hired Attorney

I retained Kelsey Marquard to represent me in a well-documented employment case involving serious policy violations and legal concerns. I provided extensive evidence that warranted careful review and strong advocacy. Instead, there was a clear lack of engagement. It did not appear that my materials were even reviewed, and there was little effort to develop a strategy or pursue accountability. Critical issues were simply not acted upon. Professionalism was also lacking. Communication was inconsistent, often unfocused, and follow-through was unreliable. In a situation requiring diligence and attention to detail, I received neither. The result was not just disappointing—it was damaging. I entered seeking advocacy and left feeling my case was not taken seriously. I strongly caution others, especially educators, to think carefully before relying on this level of representation in high-stakes matters.
