3 Questions for your Employment Lawyer

After being fired, the most important step one can take is ensuring that they are fully informed of their options and entitlements. Speak to an employment lawyer before accepting any offer of severance or considering walking away from a for-cause termination.

When choosing an employment lawyer, here are 3 questions that you should ask:

1) Do you offer free legal consultations?

Before booking a case review, speak with the employment law firm to determine if they offer free legal consultations or if they charge for your initial case review. After losing your job and the security associated with a steady paycheque you may choose to contact an employment law firm like ours that will review your case with no fee before you decide what course of action to take and to find out about your options and entitlements.

2) What areas of law do you practice?

Although some lawyers keep a general practice handling all sorts of legal matters, others will focus their practice in a specific legal area. You want to ensure that the lawyer you seek counsel from has sufficient experience in employment law and has dealt with matters like yours before.

Call us today at (416) 931-2555 to speak to an employment lawyer that focuses specifically on cases involving wrongful termination, severance packages, and other employment related issues.

3) Do you bill hourly or on contingency?

Most of our callers want lawyers that do not bill up front but only after a successful conclusion to their case. Some lawyers only work on retainer, meaning that you must pay up front. Other lawyers – like us – only get paid after you do.
