Notes
Date: June 18th
Client Name: Thomas Jameson
Interviewing Attorney: Sarah Green
Mr. Jameson is a former employee of SystemTech Inc. He hopes to sue the company for wrongful termination.
It is Mr. Jameson's assertion that SystemTech Inc. released him because he was due for a raise. He believes the company decided it would be cheaper to fire him and hire a less experienced employee.
It is difficult to tell if Mr. Jameson has a valid case. Eliciting factual information proved difficult. Mr. Jameson frequently cites beliefs about why he was fired. Yet he has not obtained any documentation to support these claims. I recommend that we decline to represent Mr. Jameson.
