Working with a new employment attorney should feel structured. Here's how the first two conversations with Alice usually go, from the moment you request a consult to the day representation begins.

Alice discusses fees during intake so the arrangement fits the matter. Contingency, hourly, and flat-fee options are all common in employment practice — ask which fits.

• How much does it cost to hire Alice for a employment case?

  Cost depends on the type of matter, the fee model (contingency, flat, hourly), and how contested the case becomes. Alice walks through the likely range during the consult so there are no surprises.

• Does Alice offer a free consultation?

  Alice charges for the initial consult; that fee is credited toward representation if you retain Alice's office. Some employment attorneys offer free consults — check Alice's current terms during booking.

• How long do employment cases in Minnesota typically take?

  Simple employment matters can wrap in a few weeks; disputed cases can run 6–18 months from intake to resolution, longer if the matter goes to trial. Alice gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Alice take my case if I'm outside Minneapolis?

  Alice is licensed in Minnesota. Matters governed by Minnesota law are the natural fit. Out-of-state matters are handled case-by-case, sometimes with local co-counsel. Ask during intake — Alice will tell you if the case is a fit or refer you to someone closer to your court.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Alice?

  Bring every document that touches the dispute: contracts, correspondence, police or medical reports, filed pleadings, invoices, photographs, insurance letters. Also bring a written timeline of what happened, in your own words. Alice will filter what matters — over-preparing at intake is always cheaper than needing a second meeting.

• Is Alice accepting new employment clients right now?

  Alice's intake status shifts week to week. Submit the form; the office will confirm availability or refer the matter out.
