Process
Our legal methodology begins with a comprehensive, confidential case evaluation to determine the merits of your claim under statutes like the Civil Rights Act of 1964 or the Age Discrimination in Employment Act. We meticulously gather evidence, including employment contracts, performance reviews, and communication records. Listed attorneys then develop a tailored strategy, which may involve direct negotiation, filing a charge with the EEOC—a process with a strict 180-day deadline from the discriminatory act—or pursuing litigation. We guide clients through every step, whether negotiating a Severance package or litigating a wrongful termination case, aiming for the most efficient and favorable resolution.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the first step in pursuing an employment law case?
The first step is a confidential case evaluation with an attorney. We review your situation, relevant documents, and applicable laws to provide an honest assessment of your claim's strengths, potential remedies, and the best legal pathway forward.
How long do I have to file a discrimination claim?
For most federal discrimination claims, you must file a charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) within 180 days of the alleged unlawful practice. Some state laws may have different deadlines, which we will clarify for your specific case.
What types of evidence are important for my case?
Critical evidence includes your employment contract, offer letters, pay stubs, performance evaluations, internal complaints, emails, text messages, witness statements, and a detailed timeline of events. We guide you in compiling a comprehensive record.
How much does an employment lawyer cost in the USA?
Legal fees depend on case complexity, required litigation, and jurisdiction. Many employment cases are handled on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay no upfront costs, and fees are a percentage of the recovery. Other matters may use hourly billing. We provide a clear fee structure after your initial case evaluation.
