text: looking for an employment attorney, no upfront fees & not afraid of a little work. in tn? no one wants to take on a "non profit agency" that pays the ceo $618,000.00 yearly. they also only want open & shut cases. what happened to the lawyers willing to fight? sorry to say it, but if your state is anything like ny, you are not likely to find an employment attorney to work with no upfront fees.
