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

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

• Does Hagar offer a free consultation?

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

• Can Hagar take my case if I'm outside Woodside?

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

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