How to choose an employment lawyer

  1. Check the lawyer’s status and any public discipline in the state bar or law society directory.
  2. Ask how many employment law matters the lawyer handles each year, and who at the firm will do the work.
  3. Get the fee arrangement in writing: hourly, flat or contingency, and which costs are charged on top.
  4. Ask how and how often the firm will update you, and how fast it answers calls and emails.
  5. Read recent reviews for how the firm communicated and billed, not only for outcomes.
  6. Ask whether the firm represents employees, employers or both, and whether that creates a conflict for your matter.
  7. Meet more than one firm; many offer a short first consultation, sometimes free.

  • How do you charge, and what will the total likely cost?
  • Who will be my main contact, and how quickly do you reply?
  • Do you represent employees, employers or both?
  • What could I recover, and what would it cost me?
  • Is there any conflict of interest that would stop you representing me?
