Cathlin 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 Cathlin for a employment case?

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

• Does Cathlin offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Cathlin take my case if I'm outside Philadelphia?

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

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

• Is Cathlin accepting new employment clients right now?

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