Frequently Asked Questions

Do I really have a case if I was fired from an "at-will" job?

Faq IconFaq Icon

Yes. "At-will" means you can be fired for an unfair reason, but not for an illegal one. Being fired because of your race, age, gender, disability, or in retaliation for reporting misconduct is illegal, regardless of your at-will status.

How much is my discrimination case worth?

Faq IconFaq Icon

It depends on many factors, including your lost wages, the severity of the emotional distress, and the nature of the employer's conduct. Our goal is to fight for the maximum compensation possible, which can include back pay, front pay, emotional distress damages, and even punitive damages.

What if I can't afford a lawyer?

Faq IconFaq Icon

You can afford us. We handle all employment cases on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay nothing upfront and owe us nothing unless we win your case. Our fee is a percentage of the compensation we recover for you.

Will my employer find out if I call you?

Faq IconFaq Icon

Your call with us is 100% confidential. We will not contact your employer or anyone else without your express permission. You can explore your options in a safe and private setting.
