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

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

• Does Ellie offer a free consultation?

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

• 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. Ellie gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

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

  Ellie 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 — Ellie 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 Ellie?

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

• Is Ellie accepting new employment clients right now?

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