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

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

• Does Heloise offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Heloise take my case if I'm outside Charlotte?

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

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

• Is Heloise accepting new employment clients right now?

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