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

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

• Does Colesen offer a free consultation?

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

• Can Colesen take my case if I'm outside Dallas?

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

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

• Is Colesen accepting new employment clients right now?

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