Process
Our legal process begins with a confidential case evaluation to assess the merits of your employment claim. We then conduct a thorough investigation, gathering evidence such as employment contracts, communications, and witness statements. Listed attorneys analyze the facts against applicable statutes like the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. We develop a litigation strategy, which may involve negotiation, filing with the EEOC, or pursuing litigation. Statistically, the EEOC resolves over 70% of its charges through mediation and settlements, a process we leverage to seek efficient resolutions for our clients.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the first step in pursuing an employment law case?
The first step is a confidential case evaluation with listed attorneys. We review your situation, documents, and potential claims to advise on the legal merits, applicable statutes like the FLSA or ADA, and the recommended course of action, which may involve internal complaints, EEOC charges, or direct litigation.
How long does an employment lawsuit typically take?
Timelines vary based on complexity and jurisdiction. An EEOC investigation may take 6-10 months. If litigation is necessary, a case can take 1-3 years to reach trial. Many cases are resolved through pre-trial settlement or mediation, which can significantly shorten the timeframe.
What types of evidence are crucial for an employment case?
Critical evidence includes employment contracts, offer letters, pay stubs, performance reviews, all relevant emails and messages, witness contact information, and a detailed personal timeline of events. This documentation is essential for building claims related to termination, discrimination, or wage violations.
How much does an employment lawyer cost in the USA?
Legal fees depend on case complexity, required litigation stages, and jurisdiction. Many employment cases are handled on a contingency fee basis, where the attorney's fee is a percentage of the recovery, or alternatively, on an hourly basis. We provide a clear fee structure after the initial case evaluation. The best approach is to request a specific consultation for a tailored estimate.
