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

Brenden 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 Brenden for a employment case?

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

• Does Brenden offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do employment cases in Kansas 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. Brenden gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Brenden take my case if I'm outside Emporia?

  Brenden is licensed in Kansas. Matters governed by Kansas law are the natural fit. Out-of-state matters are handled case-by-case, sometimes with local co-counsel. Ask during intake — Brenden 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 Brenden?

  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. Brenden will filter what matters — over-preparing at intake is always cheaper than needing a second meeting.

• Is Brenden accepting new employment clients right now?

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