How much does a consultation cost?

FREE! Our attorneys will not charge you for a 15 minute consultation!

A single consultation can help you evaluate your situation and give you important information that will help you decide the most appropriate course of action.
 
Speak with a lawyer before you do something that may get you in trouble.  Though your experience at work may be trying, frustrating or even frightening, speaking with a trained lawyer may help you achieve a resolution you never thought possible.
 
 When you phone or email us we request that you clearly and slowly:
  1. State your name;
  2. Say your phone number twice to make sure we get it;
  3. Let us know what times are best for us to call you back; and
  4. Do not tell us about your reason for calling when you leave a message.
Someone will call you back as soon as we can.  While we try, calls are usually not returned immediately.  Most calls are returned between 9:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.  If requested, calls can be returned outside of regular hours.
