Working With Our Employment Lawyers
Working with our employment lawyers is easy. Below is a brief overview of our process.
For all matters, we start with a free information session with one of our consultants. The goal of this session is to gather information about the issue you are facing and identify your options. If you have filled out our Solutions Roadmap before that information session, you will also receive preliminary feedback from a member of our team. Both of these steps are free.
If your matter is something we can help you with, and if you decide to retain us, the next step will be an assessment of your legal rights and recommendation by your attorney about the best next steps for you.
If the recommendation is to move forward, and you choose to do so, your assigned attorney will work with you to best present your claims (or defenses if you are facing a civil suit or threat of a non compete suit) and attempt to reach a resolution if one is possible.
