Frequently Asked Questions

How much will the consultation cost?

We will never charge for a consultation.

How much will the case cost me?

We never charge by the hour. Rather, we only recover if your case is successfully resolved.

Is the consultation confidential?

Absolutely. We will not disclose any of your confidential information without your express permission.

Will my information be reviewed by a lawyer?

Yes, all new cases are evaluated by our team of attorneys.

Could I get fired for filing a lawsuit?

While we cannot make any guarantees about how your particular employer will respond to your lawsuit, California law protects employees from retaliation for suing their employers.

How long will my case take?

It really depends on the case. While we have cases that are successfully resolved in a matter of weeks, other cases can go on for quite a while, particularly if they involve appeals.

Will I need to appear in court?

>While it is not always the case, our clients may be required to testify in court or in a deposition.
