M.K.O. Employment Law LLC's Secure, Confidential, and Safe Client Assessment Form. A good new client assessment takes about two hours to fully complete, sometimes longer or shorter depending on your situation, so you might want to grab a drink and a snack before starting.
We suggest you backup the longer answers with a word document, specifically the four part personal statement. Be very careful not to leave this assessment once you start or take a long break to avoid the computer shutting down, going to sleep, or the browser timing out. It may also be helpful to "zoom" the screen to avoid eye strain.
Do not press the back button on your browser or you may lose your work, only use the bottom navigation buttons to go backward and forward. After many questions, there are lines for a response that automatically add more lines as you type.
Do not do this assessment on your phone or tablet. If you don't have a computer, you may want to ask family members, friends, or go to a library.
The more information we have, the better able we are to represent you. It is understood that MKO will rely on the fact that the information contained herein is truthful, accurate, and complete unless noted otherwise. Keep in mind we will be relying on the information you give to make major decisions about your case, the objectives, and how we intend to represent you.
In the state of Pennsylvania, an individual with an employer of at least 15 employees is covered by the EEOC (20 employees in age discrimination cases) and people often have a maximum of 300 days from act(s) of employment discrimination to file a charge with the EEOC (except in very rare cases where a state or local agency doesn't have a complimentary discrimination law or more commonly where it is a small company, then it is 180 days). For most individuals 300 days will apply, but we can't make that final assessment until this is completed.
MKO tries to identify urgent deadlines during early consultations and evaluations and alert you so you have a good understanding and prior notice. However, being only in the early stages, something may have changed wherein you believe something is now urgent. If that is the case, please contact MKO immediately at 412.301.2700. MKO is not responsible or liable if you do not give adequate notice about a deadline or fail to disclose an incident of discrimination.
