I graduated from law school in 2009 and moved to San Francisco based solely on my offer of employment with Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman. Because I was deferred (without compensation), I was supposed to receive assistance securing a one year clerkship or other employment opportunity. This was never provided, and I struggled to pay for housing in San Francisco while looking for a job in a very difficult economic climate. I was unable to study for the Bar Exam and did not pass. Pillsbury rescinded their offer and refused to reconsider (even though it violated my employment contract). I was left penniless in a new town without any means of supporting myself. I had no where else to go and eventually ended up homeless.
I have since attempted to reach out to Pillsbury but all of my calls and emails have been ignored. With the help of family and friends, I moved out of San Francisco and am trying to restart my career. In July 2019, I was finally able to take the Bar Exam for the first time since Pillsbury rescinded. I am still trying to recover from this experience, and believe that Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman’s conduct was discriminatory and more importantly, unconscionable.
