You don't know how much all this means to me. You worked hard to collect and then compose appropriate [response brief and exhibits]. What you did is called "a 5G Pull out" in the fighter pilot jargon, meaning: When you are in dive towards the ground, you only have one option to survive, and that's when you pull hard on the controls (5G’s) to survive.  [Because of you, my] case [is now expected to] survive.

[My coworker[ Ron and I went through this [case] many times, while filing those 3 [other] EEO complaints. We sometimes worked 36 hrs in a stretch.  [With the] 20/20 hindsight [I see now that] we got no support from [my former attorney Mr.] Pxxxx.  He used to tell us: “Everything is going fine.”  Ya, really?   All that is history now.  Let’s think positive. There's still light at the end of the tunnel.  Thanks.

Dear Mr. Lee,

Since filing my EEO complaint against the Air Force in 2014, you have helped me several times before I was able to afford an attorney. You have also helped me many times with a similar complaint against the Army.

Anyway, I wanted to let you know that after 8+ years I finally prevailed against the Air Force! In December 2021 an AJ ruled in my favor. In June of this year, another AJ issued a judgement against the AF ordering them to pay me back pay and benefits, legal fees, pecuniary and non pecuniary damages and also reinstate me into the position with full pay and benefits.

I have learned a lot from your website [www.eeo21.com] and your answers to my questions over the years. I wanted to thank you for your help because I could not have gotten off the ground as a pro-se complainant without it. I had to manage for 2 years on my own, but did it because of your sites helpful guidance.

While I wouldn’t want to go through it again, I’m glad you were there when I started to help show me that there is hope.

All the Best to you!”

Dear Sir, 

Your EEO21.COM website is incredible. Thank you for providing so much information for those of us who are in need.  I did contact you approximately 1 yr ago. Yesterday, I rediscovered your website and spent the entire night going over it all again. […]. Gratefully,”

— DIANA, WISCONSIN

Thank you for all of your help and assistance in my EEO matter(s) over the past 6 years.  I realized that you could have left me behind years ago.  You are an Angel to me.  Know that you were God sent to me.  It was a living hell working for EPA under the abusive and retaliatory conditions that I endured for many years.    May God Bless you and your family. After the opposition to summary judgement is filed, I will appeal to the OFO and then focus on pharmacy school.  Hopefully, I will not hear from the EEOC or EPA for at least a year. Hopefully we can stay in contact from time to time.  I am not sure if you will continue working in EEO matters or not.  I know that it is draining and time consuming, but after you have taken a break you will realize that working at EEO 21 is your gift.  You are good at what you do. You are a good persuasive writer.  The only problem is that this system is corrupt.  May God Bless you from the Bottom of my Heart.

Mr. Lee I want to thank you. You did and have done everything you initially said that you were going to do. You answered all the questions that you felt necessary to answer and not the ones that you didn’t feel it was necessary to answer. That did drive me a little crazy but I kept the faith that you are man of your word. That I have found to be true throughout this process. I know I attempted to use you as a therapist a time to two but this entire process has been mentally and physically draining. More time than others.I think you provide a great service and I cannot compare you to anything else because I only dealt with you. I chose you because years ago I went to a lawyer office and he was changing me $175 a consultation per hour and I could tell he was running the clock up on me. This was the time when around the country there were protests about the confederate statues everywhere. There was a statue outside his office and a protest that was supposed to take place that day. He made an off handed comment, plus running the clock up, and I knew he wasn’t going to rock with me like I needed him to. So when I found you and talked to you afterwards you sent me an email with our conversation almost word for word. I decided to rock with you. Plus your initial starting price was right up my alley for what I could afford at the time. I like the way you break everything up every step of the way. If you would have ask for everything upfront, I would not have been able to afford it. I want to thank you very much so with all my gratitude and appreciation. ”

— ARTHUR, FLORIDA

I am writing to express my appreciation for your assistance with my appeal brief.  You have a lot of experience in these matters, and you would make a great attorney. I will keep you informed about the appeal, and will not hesitate to seek your assistance in the future. Thanks, again.

— WESTON, FLORIDA

I just want you [Mr. Lee] to know how much I appreciate your website.  I have utilized it from the inception of my [EEO] case and find it very helpful. I have also referred many other individuals to your website.”

— LISA A., MD

I am a Federal Administrative Law Judge.  I was in a very bad situation for about 4 years and with time, it escalated to proportions that I still find unbelievable.  The problem with these types of cases is that the actions do not kill you.  They come close, but they do not kill you.  Yes, I am a judge but I know nothing about Federal EEOC procedures or regulations.  I did not choose an attorney, I specifically chose Mr. Lee for several reasons: (1) He knows federal EEOC law like he knows his own face; (2) When I told him about my case, I finally had some validation that yes, it was unbelievable; (3) He is a good listener; (4) He won’t play in the mud with the dirty agencies, however, he anticipates the mud before they sling it (there is really no other way to describe this!); (5) He works very hard and he is organized – good qualities in this paper intensive arena; (6) He let me cry on his shoulder (I am sure his mouth was gaped open each time) because each day brought another “bizarre” incident.

Some people might think that a judge would hire a lawyer, but not me.  I wanted the best.  The “best” does not always have a law degree on the wall. Just read how extensive his knowledge is on his website.

My case is over, finally – after all these years.  I am grateful for Mr. Lee.”

— KIM, ALABAMA

I sent you an email long ago to thank you for your website.  Again I thank you for your website because I now have a pre-hearing conference with [the EEOC] Administrative Judge (AJ) ...

I am still waiting to hear about a sanction request [I filed] against the Agency for not complying with [my] Document Request; and I’m waiting for a ruling on my Motion to preclude the Agency from submitting documents that they think they can submit over a month and half after the discovery had ended [without producing them to me beforehand in response to my discovery requests].  ... Your website is awesome and it has taught me an incredible process that I can finally see working.  Thank you again.

— LESLIE, FLORIDA

Mr. Lee, I cannot express enough how relieved I am that you came into the picture on this case.  As you can see, my wife and I felt totally overwhelmed with this; and you just took an enormous weight off of our chest. … I admire your attention to detail and it appears you left no stone unturned.

— EDMUND, MINNESOTA

My EEOC case was so complex that most Attorneys refused to take my case. The one Attorney that agreed to take my case wanted a $15,000 retainer and charged $150 an hour.  This was something I could not afford especially since my case took two years.  Mr. Chungsoo Lee was the answer to my prayers.  As an Army Veteran suffering from PTSD, there were times during the EEOC [hearing] process when I wanted to curl up and cry, quit my job due to retaliation, give up on the EEOC process all together; and there were times when I was so angry I could not think straight.  Mr. Lee stood fast and never gave up on my case or me.  I do not recommend anyone go through the process without an experienced representative and I highly recommend Mr. Chungsoo Lee.”

— MICHELLE, OHIO

After self representation against my agency for 13 months, I discovered EEO 21 and Mr. Chungsoo J. Lee.  Two years later, all four of my claims were accepted for hearings before an administrative EEOC judge because of Mr. Lee’s remarkable skills, legal acumen, and commitment to fairness. His writings are “fierce,” opined my psychiatrist. Consultation with K. Street law firms in Washington, D. C., and other attorneys confirmed that Mr. Lee was the best choice for me. The agency went through four attorneys before accepting a negotiated settlement offer.  Mr. Lee’s representation was priceless and I recommend/refer him without reservations.

— GILL, MARYLAND 

Mr. Lee, I received your responses to the EEO [investigative] questions; and I wanted to thank you for your help. Your answers were incredible. I am almost tearful to be receiving this kind of help after months of feeling totally alone in this [EEO process].

— CATHERINE, OHIO

You have a real gift of cutting through the emotions your clients are feeling and summarizing the events, by stating the issues and the basis both briefly and accurately.  I know my case probably would have been dismissed had it not been for you.  Just the fact that my agency acknowledges that I may have been wronged and has agreed to investigate further, gives me hope that they will indeed find what so many people have told me—that I was treated wrongly and hopefully as a result, they will not allow my former supervisor to mistreat anyone else in the future. You are a God send! Thank you again.”

— MARTHA, OKLAHOMA

My experience with Mr. Lee was exceptional.  He gave me thorough and dedicated support continuously for more than a year.  He always treated me fairly and with respect.  He has exceptional writing skills.  He understands the laws and rules very well.  He never once failed to take action when appropriate.  He gave me countless hours of consultation.  I can understand your feelings and we have all had them.  But, I can assure you that Mr. Lee will not let you down.  He is not only good at his job but he is a genuinely good person.  When I look back on my situation now, my memories center not around the very stressful work situation I had then but around how lucky I was to find Mr. Lee and what a pleasant experience it was to work with him.  He is the best.

— GLORIA, ARIZONA

I first retained an high profile exclusive employment law firm in Washington DC to represent me for my discrimination complaint. Their fee agreement used up all and more of my $7500 retainer before my complaint was schedule for a hearing. EEO 21’s flat fee agreement is better suited for what could be a long complaint process. Mr. Lee’s experience well represented my complaint against my federal employer, and his client communications were easy to understand.

— DAVE, VIRGINIA

Thank you Mr. Lee for your hard fought efforts in these multiple events that has led to a wrongful termination.  You have performed to the best of your ability to surmise the insurmountable pieces of supporting documentation to prove to the officials that a wrong had seriously been done unto me.  Thank you for also explaining the process with layman’s terms that provided me a clear understanding of what to expect throughout the entire process.  Your services, patience and kindness is greatly appreciated and I will recommend other to you as well when and if the need arises.

— SAFFAREENE, CALIFORNIA

Mr. Lee is an exceptional representative.  His knowledge, professionalism, and dedication to his clients are outstanding.  His positive attitude made a very stressful situation bearable.  I would strongly recommend his services to anyone who wishes to find justice against discrimination.

— GLORIA, ARIZONA

I want to express my heartfelt appreciation to Mr. Lee’s for all his hard work on my case.  I will recommend his services to any body that is seeking help in any discrimination cases and I will use his service again.  Thank Mr. Lee for being there and getting me through this. You are truly appreciated.

— SHIRLEY, GEORGIA

You have been a great asset in my employment discrimination case, as you are very knowledgeable in the process and terminology aspect of my case, without which I would have been lost.  Tank you for representing me.  You are highly recommended.

— KEN, PHILADELPHIA

It gives me great pleasure in thanking you for the thorough and great job that you did.  By doing this, the level of stress disappeared.  The factual point and the materials was great.  I could not have found a better representative....

Again, I have been recommending you to a lot of people.  I do feel better now, even though, I am still in this office which they told me that they would move me.... Thanks a million for your support and listening ears.”

— JULIE, VIRGINIA

I can not begin to tell you how much I appreciate your coming to my rescue with your professionalism in handling my discrimination case.  Not only did you help me, you also saved me thousands of dollars that local attorneys wanted to charge me and I felt you did a superior job in representing me at the MSPB hearing. I have already referred others to you and will continue to do so.

— RODNEY, MINNESOTA

Mr. Lee not only knows what to do and how to do it, but also he supports and validates my attempt in seeking justice with conviction.  Mr. Lee is aware of the battles that I have faced ... He is an expert in calculating fact to paper and does not let any action go unexamined. His representation has given me comfort, assurance, and piece of mind. ... He is truly amazing in how his mind can respond, sort through the details, and structure the legalities in my favor.

— Sarah, Illinois

I have entrusted my federal employment case with EEO 21.  I am very happy with Mr. Lee's expertise in the field and with his courteous advice and guidance for me.  I trust him as he tells me what the next step is in the EEO process.  His counseling is detailed, precise, and professional.

— Sunny, Maryland

My experience with Mr. Lee of EEO 21 has been a very positive experience. Mr. Lee’s service consisted of working my EEO complaint from start to finish in any forum.  His knowledge of discrimination cases/issues far surpassed any lawyer that I spoke with; he truly knew how to represent me during my EEOC Administrative Judge's hearing.  I truly believe that Mr. Lee missed his calling: he is a true fighter for his client and a stand up professional who doesn’t shy away from mixing it up with federal agencies.  I highly recommend Mr. Lee's services for any and all discrimination cases.

— Kenneth, Virginia

Your assistance, diligence, and sympathy throughout it all was ingratiating to say the least.  Thank you again for your efficient and effective service. You are truly appreciated.

— Natanya, Philadelphia

You have done a very fine job with my case.  I wouldn’t have continued or seen the different stories that [the employer] was telling especially when it came to my unemployment. ... I thank you deeply for your help in this case.
