Frequently Asked Consultation Questions
At the consultation, you will meet with a qualified employment law lawyer who will go over your employment situation and provide you with legal advice on your rights as applicable to your workplace dispute. We will also suggest a plan of action and/or possible options to achieve your individual goals. In addition, we will explain the time period or deadline to bring any legal claims you may have, your options on how to proceed, and the costs and risks associated with attempting to accomplish your goals.
We charge for a consultation because we dedicate up to an hour of time for you to meet with a qualified employment lawyer to discuss your specific circumstances and concerns. During this dedicated time, we listen as you share what is going on, so we evaluate your circumstances for pertinent facts, as well as listen for additional issues and claims and important deadlines of which you may not be aware. The lawyer will also discuss your potential remedies, and share advice on a strategy to resolve your employment situation in a way that is in your best interests. In fact, many times employees who receive a consultation from us get all of their questions answered at that time and don’t need to retain an attorney. We believe this sets us apart from the rest. Although we charge a consultation fee, we are sensitive to the fact that everyone has a different financial situation so we offer our consultations at a reduced rate from our normal hourly rates.
