If you are wondering whether you need an attorney, you should at least consider a consultation. Many of our clients have never dealt with an attorney before the initial consultation regarding their employment issues. We understand that the idea is intimidating. Even those who do have experience working with attorneys, find that an employment law practice<\/a> operates a little differently than others.<\/p>\n To help you navigate with a little more ease, here is some information about the consultation process with the employment law attorneys at JacksonWhite.<\/p>\n To help preserve your time and energy, JacksonWhite\u2019s employment law team offers a free evaluation of your case, by phone, to help determine whether a consultation is likely to be of value to you.<\/p>\n JacksonWhite charges an hourly attorney\u2019s fee for consultations. The fee typically ranges from $250 to $400 per hour depending on which attorney you are consulting with. We understand that this fee often comes as a surprise to many of our potential clients.<\/p>\n The marketplace is flooded with attorneys offering \u201cfree consultations\u201d or \u201cno-fee\u201d representation, but those are typically for personal injury and criminal defense cases and rarely serve the client\u2019s needs upfront. The priority of JacksonWhite\u2019s employment attorneys is not to simply retain as many clients as possible – it\u2019s our priority to help make sure you understand your legal rights and options. We retain cases that, after an honest discussion, are determined to be in your best interests.<\/p>\n In short, you\u2019re going to get what you pay for. We hope you leave your consultation understanding the strengths and weaknesses of your legal position and situation. Consultation appointments typically take about an hour \u2013 sometimes more, sometimes less. It\u2019s important to us that we take the time to carefully assess all the key components of your situation. We\u2019ll be asking a lot of questions and sorting through your circumstance in detail.<\/p>\n To make the most of your consultation, bring copies of any relevant documents that support or describe your case. We find some clients find it helpful to prepare a short, written sequence of events prior to the appointment for the attorney to review during the appointment. In addition, be prepared to identify all of the important parties and witnesses.<\/p>\n If your case is one that we are able to pursue, we will discuss the next steps required for JacksonWhite employment law team to take on the responsibility of your representation.
